Brilli Brilli transforms La Casa Encendida into a family universe of art and play
The Brilli Brilli festival comes to La Casa Encendida with games, workshops, films and music for children and families until 4 January, offering a unique Christmas experience in Madrid.
La Casa Encendida is once again backing creativity and family fun with Brilli Brilli, its Christmas festival, which will be open until 4 January. Aimed at children and families, the event turns the venue into a meeting point where art, play and music come together to bid farewell to one year and welcome the next.
In this edition, the theme revolves around the house as a place of discovery and care. Young children can explore ‘Venturia 3’, a sensory installation created by Conjuntos Empáticos, which invites them to crawl, roll and be enveloped by lights and shadows in an extraterrestrial setting.
The proposal ‘Zurcidoras del sonido’, by artist Tania Arias, lets visitors experience movement and dance through creative devices that stimulate listening and the body. Meanwhile, the workshop ‘Nuestra casa’, led by Yuliya Gwilym, encourages children to build their own imaginary home using cardboard, paint and everyday objects.
Cinema also plays a leading role with a 35 mm screening of the classic ‘Bitelchús’. In addition, the decoration of the Patio and Torreón II is transformed to show the set of the music video ‘Aprenderás’ by Rigoberta Bandini, thanks to the collaboration of art director María Ona.
Torreón II hosts workshops such as ‘Leo el mundo’, where Virginia de la Rosa encourages family reading, and ‘Bordado abstracto y animación experimental’, led by Daniel Tornero, which brings embroidery and animation together in a collective creative experience.
The programme is completed by activities such as the ‘Miniclub de baile’, a party with music and surprises, and the ‘Fiesta de pijamas’, featuring Caries and a live performance by Dear Joanne.
During the festival, visitors can enjoy Jem Finer’s sound installation ‘Longplayer’ free of charge and exhibitions such as ‘Inquietud. Libertad y Democracia’, which reflects on the democratic transition in Portugal and Spain, and ‘Oro tejido con paja’, with works by Elena Mendizabal and Joan Rom.
