Contemporary dance for family audiences
Rudyard Kipling’s classic comes to Teatre Principal de València as a contemporary dance show in Valencian. El Llibre de la Selva, produced by Yapadú Artística and directed by Rosángeles Valls, adapts the story for children aged 6 to 12 through movement, music, and evocative staging. The production stays true to the original tale while using accessible language that can also be enjoyed by adult audiences.
