What is narrated
«L’home del sac» is the sixth title in the Espanta la por collection, a project that revives Valencian fantasy imagery for family audiences. Written by Almudena Francés and illustrated by Marc Bou, the story follows Carmeta, a girl whose mother threatens her with the feared Hombre del Saco if she misbehaves. When the wrong ears hear the words, the character comes to life and takes the girl, sparking a reflection on fear and childhood imagination.
Who performs it
The author, Almudena Francés, narrates the tale live at L’Etno. Her performance, according to sources, gives voice to the three main characters—Carmeta, her mother, and the Hombre del Saco—creating an immersive experience designed to ensure the audience «never forgets» their tones and nuances. The format, tailored for family reading, blends oral tradition with the support of the illustrated book.
Who it’s for
The event is aimed at family audiences, particularly children old enough to listen to stories. The «Espanta la por» collection uses fear as a narrative tool to explore emotions and values, always from a playful and approachable perspective. While no minimum age is specified, the tone and duration (60 minutes, based on similar museum activities) make it suitable for children aged 4-5 and up.
