El Betlem de Tirisiti (Alcoi)
As soon as November finishes, the beginning of the performances of the Betlem de Tirisiti marks the arrival of Christmas in Alcoi.
This Betlem, declared Asset of Cultural Interest, is a singular sample of the popular theatre of puppet’s rod and constitutes one of the most attractive and original offers of our Christmas period.
His performances have preserved the popular flavour of his argument incorporating scenes that combine the Christmas story with other local traditions of the past.
