(THE
LAND OF CATALAN STEW)
Terra
d'escudella (literally ‘The
Land of Catalan Stew) is a children’s television slot that went
out on Saturday mornings in 1977.
The script was written by Josep M. Vidal, Miquel Obiols and Montserrat
Camps. The producers were Mercè Vilaret, Lluís M. Güell
and Sergi Schaaff.
Els Joglars were responsible for six episodes, taking over from the
Comediants who started the series.
Els Joglars recalled episodes from history, like the particular vision
of childhood of King Jaume I, presented through games, adventures, etc.
History is brought closer to children through play. Els Joglars represent
a group of boys and girls from a particular neighbourhood who play out
a historical situation. Children learn about history by participating
in its re-enactment, reincarnating the characters and situations.
