The artist David Zuazola presents his project The City of Lights, co-produced with the Museum of Lleida and the Puppet Fair, which aims to unify the vision that the inhabitants have of their own city and turn it into a spectacle.
Through joint work with different citizens who have explained their vision of Lleida, the text of the show has been created. With the collaboration of the Ondara School of Art and Design, continuing with the activity of previous editions, Sculptures and Puppets, the University of Lleida, the Ciutat Campus Occupational Service of the Aspros Foundation, Coral Shalom and the city's schoolchildren, within the project Puppets in schools, scenery has been produced. The students of the l'Intèrpret music school composed the music. A collaboration that has included students from primary, secondary, high school, training cycles and university, coordinated by the artist David Zuazola.
A large model of our city, Lleida, and a show based on its history will be the main axis of this project that has ended up being a show.
This project has already been carried out in Sarajevo (Bosnia), Chuncheon and Incheon (South Korea), Timisoara (Romania), Warsaw (Poland), Tolosa (Spain) and Kraguevac (Serbia). Lleida joins this list of cities, in a transversal project that brings together different entities, schools and citizens of Lleida.
