Members of the ADAPT Theatre are being asked all the time about what the word “guiri” means, so here is an explanation. Guiri (pronounced with a silent letter ‘u’) is a jokey kind of word that the Spanish sometimes use to describe typical northern European visitors to Spain.
It implies some classic stereotypes like “socks and sandals” and lobster-red sun burn but can also be used as a general term to describe a certain type of visitor or resident in Spain without necessarily being insulting or unpleasant.
So, who are the 7 guiris in this year’s version of Snow White? Well, you’ll have to come along to find out, but suffice it to say we are able to laugh at ourselves and play up some of our worst or best characteristics to create show that will be fun for everyone – guiris and locals alike! The photo is from our previous Snow White pantomime.
This year’s panto is “Snow White and the 7 guiris” and will be performed on 28th, 29th and 30th November at 7 p.m. and 1st December at 12 midday in the Salón de Actos, Casa de Cultura, c/Alcalde Julio Albaladejo, San Pedro del Pinatar.
We are sponsored by the ADAPT Metal Detecting group and all money raised goes to local charities. Tickets are just 4€ and are available from Mail Pinatar, c/Reyes Católicos, San Pedro del Pinatar and Bar Amigos (open p.m.) or phone Eric on 656 361 098.
