Betlem de Tirisiti, Historic puppet theater in Alcoy, Spain
The Betlem de Tirisiti presents traditional Christmas stories through rod puppets operated from below, combining religious narratives with local customs and characters.
The theater performances began in the mid-19th century during Alcoy's industrial period, reflecting the social dynamics and traditions of Mediterranean puppet shows.
This theatrical production incorporates bilingual narration in Valencian and Spanish, featuring metallic reed vocalizations that create distinct character voices.
Performances run from late November through December, with tickets available through the official website or by telephone at 96 554 14 49.
The rod puppet manipulation technique allows performers to create longitudinal and transverse movements, distinguishing it from modern string puppet shows.
