Performance by children from the Hogar de Cristo home

The girls and boys of the Hogar de Cristo home bring their special energy to the opening of the Hay Festivalito, sharing what they have learned at their dance, music, reading and games workshops. This will be an artistic presentation that invites the audience to participate in a musical performance, created by the performers themselves. With a little imagination, household objects become musical instruments. At the Hogar de Cristo home, the main theme for 2024 is respecting and protecting Mother Earth and all the workshops aim to deal with this very urgent matter. Hogar de Cristo has become involved in the Arequipa initiative “One tree, one life” in order that children understand, in greater depth over time, the significance of and need to protect, water and plant, in every sense of the terms. Music, song and dance are the food of the soul and we invite audiences to enjoy the classic Andean folk of the Hogar de Cristo, El árbol de la queñua es vida.
