Serenada, Saturday 21: Palabras al Sereno, Elsa Moreno and Sheila Blanco in the Anglican Church gardens (Puerto de la Cruz)
On Saturday 21 November Serenada, Puerto de la Cruz's festival of music and poetry, continues from 17:00 in the gardens of the Anglican Church in Parque Taoro with a collective recital by six Canarian women poets, Elsa Moreno's stage poetry, Cantando Poetas and Selectomía. At 21:00 Sheila Blanco sings the women poets of the Generation of '27, and Somnolescencia Programada closes at 22:15. Free entry until full.
The second day of Serenada, the music and poetry festival run by Puerto de la Cruz's culture department, opens with Palabras al Sereno, the public side of a meeting held beforehand between Canarian women poets: a collective recital in which each poet shares her texts and her voice, and a map of the archipelago slowly takes shape out of memories, accents, landscapes and questions. Cantando Poetas brings unreleased songs written by Canarian artists from the work of different poets, and the day ends with Somnolescencia Programada, a sound epilogue for closing your eyes and simply listening.
