the Scene and character changesrespression Open curtain It was the main attraction on Saturday Shepherds of Lamitella di Merola. This isn't the first time they've performed Christmas without the curtain closing, but it's been years since I've been able to see the action at the top of the stage from the audience. This year the management decided to once again show the viewers what is not usually seen in Pastorets performances and it was a way to enrich the play and give it added value: “It's another attraction for the public.” explained Guillem Obradors and Carles Picado, two of the directors of Pastorets de l'Ametlla.

At the beginning of the show, the mechanism of the show was explained: “Today the curtain will not be closed throughout the session, but will remain open until the end. Instead of opening and closing it as usual, some lights will be lit to indicate the moment the curtain is closed.” The explanation aroused the enthusiasm of the audience that filled the theater, most of whom chose Already a Saturday session to watch the changes in decorations and champions. Many spectators had never seen the Shepherds open screen and rated it very positively. According to Obrador and Picado, “It is also important for the public to see Working behind the scenes during the show And people who do not appear in front of the stage, but rather play an essential role.”

See how the work is done between the two bamboos With actors and stages that change the scene in just a few moments it attracts attention. Place objects and characters in their places and turn on the light to indicate that it is time to start a new scene. In fact, lighting was key to bringing life and emotion to the play And the accompaniment of the distinguished figures of Pastorets de l'Ametlla de Merola.

Young patrons attract families with children waiting to see their favorite paintings. For some of them, it was the most awaited hour of demons. While the children looked at them with semi-fear, others dared to approach the stage to see up close some of the characters they described as curious and different.
