#pessebre

[useless-catalanfacts]

By DailyCatalan (Instagram, Tiktok):

Here's a collection of the scenes I liked the most from el Pessebre Vivent in Bàscara. This is an example of a "living nativity", a Christmas tradition in Catalonia in which people dress up and pretend to be figurines in the nativity.

Besides making a nativity scene at home with figurines, since the 1950s many towns in Catalonia and Andorra have developed the modern tradition of recreating a nativity scene with people.

It's not the same as a nativity play, because it's not a theatre play. It's a recreation of the nativity scenes. They can be static but sometimes also in movement (for example, the workers represented be actually doing the work instead of being "frozen").

Catalonia has its own older theatre Christmas traditions, most famously the play titled Els pastorets ("The Little Shepherds"), a humorous play about two shepherds traveling to see Baby Jesus' birth while devils try to lead them astray. Els pastorets is played in every town and city, put on by amateur locals, just like the pessebre vivent ("Living nativity scene").

Happy STS! How do your OCs decorate for holidays?

happy sts to you too!

i'll answer for chimera and arion from tales from beyond :] (also you get a bonus of and explanation of Catalan holidays)

arion LOVES holidays, specially because he gets to make decorations for the occasion in school. his favorite holiday is la Castanyada and Tots Sants, because they include his favorite things: autum, sweets, and spirits!

his parents are very supportive of his excitement and most of their holiday decorations have been handmade by arion. a good amount of them look a bit funky and awkward, but no one in the house cares about aesthetics, and the imperfections give a cozy vibe.

so yeah, they have strings with fallen leaves encased in resin for the fall season (his parents helped him handle the resin). they also have forest theme figurines like mushrooms and wildlife arion made in art class a couple years back. once chimera comes, a collection of crocheted blankets are added (he learns from their old neighbor), and arion absolutely loves them.

for christmas, chimera sets up a search for el Tió and then goes with arion to find it. around the log they set up the blankets chimera made (winter themed in this case of course). they don't have an indoor Christmas tree because they decorate one outside on the property. they also hang lights all around the house, and set up a Pessebre with figurines from arion's parents childhoods. arion has also taken it upon himself to modify some of them so they look like he sees the world around him (as in, with monster-like features. chimera thinks it's hilarious).

Sant Jordi sees the house transformed into a medieval castle infested with dragons: figurines, drawings and paper cuts in every surface imaginable. there are also paper roses scattered across the house, and chimera helps their mother arrange roses from their greenhouse for the kitchen and dinning room turned work area.

and finally for Sant Joan, arion makes paper garlands to hang on the garden. some of them have clay bugs too!

Aldemaro Romero Jr.'s Letters from Academia # 89. Pau Casals’s “El Pessebre” new orchestration.

Last Sunday, I had the chance to attend in Barcelona the world premiere of a new orchestration for Casals’s cantata, “El Pessebre” (The Manger). Lots of Catalan musicians interpreted a great Catalan composer. What a performance!
