Overview

• The projects were officially presented on June 5 in Valencia’s Ciudad del Artista Fallero ahead of their March 2026 installation at Plaza del Ayuntamiento
• The large falla “Hope” features a 20-meter Charles Chaplin figure within a 27-meter monument that shifts from monochrome at its base to vibrant color at its peak as a call for peace
• Artists Alejandro and Josete Santaeulalia together with Vicente Llácer return for a second consecutive year to plant the municipal falla in the city center
• The children’s falla “Valencia es mou,” designed by Mario Pérez and Paco Camallonga, highlights sustainable urban movement and includes a visual game inviting viewers to guess Metrovalencia station names
• Both fallas use wood, cardboard and vegetable-origin expanded polystyrene to deliver reflective, didactic installations that encourage public contemplation
