THE CHOSTISTÓN: MINI AND SUPER-QUICK TRIBUTE

In May several birthdays are celebrated in Madrid, and we are going to make a gift-tribute to our region. Through two workshops, the artist Clara Moreno Cela shows the public the process of her research on the identity of Madrid. In order for everyone to enjoy this activity, the first day is aimed at families, and the second and third days are aimed at teenagers and adults.

During the two get-togethers we will explore our relationship with the city through music, performance and games in workshops that aim to be a reunion with other people, and is also outdoor fun that makes the most of our terrace. A Chotistón to commemorate the festivities and traditional festivals – called verbenas – that are celebrated on these particular days. A celebration that also belongs to Móstoles – the 2^nd of May – that has given us our name; a festivity we want to partake in as spring awakes.

During this workshop we will think, sing and dance about the region we live in. What do we like most about Madrid? What would we change? How would we make it more ours? What if we could answer these questions by having a super-quick party? Sign up with your family and come to the museum’s terrace. Together, we’ll create a collective imagination of Madrid by dancing and singing.
