The headquarters of the Fundación Tres Culturas hosts various cultural activities that evoke one of the most important festivities for the Christian religion around the world, Christmas.
The representation of the mystery of the Nativity is carried out on this occasion through the installation of a large-scale artistic nativity scene, which is the result of the collaboration between the Foundation and the Association of Nativity Scene Makers of Seville. This nativity scene is in diorama style and shows the joint work of several authors. The set design is the work of Francisco Ánguas Boza and the figures are by José Angel Oviedo and other members of the team. The Nativity scene is set in a costumbrista style in the Puerta del Perdón of Seville Cathedral, with architectural details of the church. The Holy Family is located in the Patio de los Naranjos along with other figures. The scene in general evokes a moment of harmonious, relaxed and humble coexistence that makes us reflect at the same time on the simplicity and relevance of the message that this festivity carries for Christians.
It is worth mentioning that in the BOE of 3 January 2022, the Directorate General of Fine Arts of the Government of Spain declared nativity scenes to be a representative manifestation of intangible cultural heritage. The city of Seville will host the International Congress of Nativity Scene Makers. Franciscus 2023. More information at www.franciscus2023.com
Flamenco carols. Zambomba
Carmela Páez, "la Chocolata", a multifaceted and renowned artist from Jerez, who stands out for her exquisite work and her fresh and joyful live performances to the rhythm of Jerez. Popular Christmas carols to share, as well as Christmas songs to listen to, as well as, of course, opening the party to dance.
The stage is too small for this complete artist of impressive vocal power and magnificent dancing skills, cheerful and fun on stage, who in this case will be accompanied by the sonanta of Lucas Benítez and the incredible voices of Ana Barba and Ester Blázquez.
The zambomba is the most genuine expression of Christmas in Jerez and is the main argument on which the conviviality and participation inherent to these festivities, as experienced in Jerez, are based.
