The setting is a surreal hotel without walls, suspended between sky and earth. It welcomes the characters, drawing them into adventures that are at once comical, poetic, and bewildering. Thursday, July 30: *El Fumista, Collector of Memories* by the Dondavel troupe. 9:00 p.m. A show featuring contemporary magic, circus arts, and object manipulation. El Fumista takes the audience on a poetic journey into the heart of memory: childhood experiences intertwine with defining moments in life.

It’s a story of great admiration, to be sure, but it’s also one of an unwavering (or nearly so) friendship between these two characters who are determined to match the greatest singer the world has ever known… Nothing less! Wednesday, August 12: Outdoor movie screening organized by the Lavelanet Children’s City Council. “En fanfare,” 9:30 p.m. – at nightfall. Thursday, August 20: “Nouba” by the Lakhdar Hanou Ensemble. 9:00 p.m. Concert featuring Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music. Concert featuring Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music.
