1 PRESENTATION OF FIRATÀRREGA 2013
With this year’s programme, FiraTàrrega confirms the excellent state of street arts, a series of
creative forms which see the space in which they perform as a key part of their message.
Revealing to the public all the artistic potential of our public spaces and making the city of Tàrrega
into a driving force of artistic activity — not only for the duration of the Fira but throughout the year
— are two of FiraTàrrega’s main objectives. But the basic aims of the Fira also include bringing
itself closer to everybody — ordinary people, professionals, and arts companies — in every way.
For that reason, certain strategic themes have been laid down, which define the essence of this
edition of the Fira.
1.1 A Fira tied in with the present day
This edition is characterised, among other things, by its link to the present day — not only in artistic
terms but also more generally — with the aim of establishing the strongest relationship with
ordinary people and guaranteeing the right to culture for all of us. This year, more than ever, prices
have been set bearing in mind the current situation, offering everyone the opportunity to see
theatre and ensuring that no one is left out of the Fira. The different shows at FiraTàrrega 2013
(those that aren’t free, that is) will cost 5, 12 or 15 euros.
1.2 A new website and greater presence in social networks
Establishing direct and rapid communication with its different audiences is essential for an event
whose raison d’être is ordinary people and street performance. For that reason, the Fira is
strengthening its communication channels with the public, through a new website and profiles on
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. We are already working in this direction and, in fact,
over the days of the Fira we will have official guests on the different social networks, who will report
in real time on what’s happening in Tàrrega: the shows, the atmosphere, professional activities…
In addition, we will set up competitions on the social networks to stimulate and strengthen the
Fira’s digital presence and thus make it more accessible to everyone.
1.3 Focus on Mexico: a vital theatrical journey
Each year, FiraTàrrega pays special attention to the theatrical production of one region, nation,
country or continent, in line with the Fira’s desire to make international connections and link up with
professionals from other countries. This year it’s the turn of Mexico. This country will have a
transversal presence, made up of three great blocks: six exceptional Mexican productions have
been included in the programme; a number of Mexican professionals associated with cultural
events will come to Tàrrega; and there will be a one day event for professionals (Thursday 5
September) with several roundtable discussions focused around the state of theatre in this Latin
American country.
1.4 Links to universities: keeping an eye open for the creators and
managers of the future
FiraTàrrega focuses on the vital examples of the street arts today, but also helps to promote the
training of professionals for tomorrow. In this regard, we should mention the Master’s Degree in
Street Arts Creation, which the Fira and the University of Lleida have inaugurated over this last
4
academic year. The theoretical phase for the first edition of this Master’s degree was carried out
during winter and spring, and the practical phase will be carried out during August and September.
Also in the field of education, FiraTàrrega collaborates with the University of Barcelona, the
Open University of Catalonia, the International University of Catalonia, the Pompeu Fabra
University, the University of Lleida, the Carlos III University of Madrid and the Complutense
University of Madrid. These collaborations take three different forms: work experience for a
number of students of cultural management or show production, either during the summer or over
the days of the Fira; on-site visits; and finally presentation sessions at different institutions over the
course of the academic year to explain FiraTàrrega’s organisational and management model.
Meanwhile, students of the Bachelor’s Degree in Street Arts from the University of Winchester
(UK) and of advanced studies in cultural management from the Inholland University
(Netherlands) will experience FiraTàrrega at first hand. This will also apply to those young people
who are participating in the International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA) summer school,
in relation to the management of cultural events.
1.5 FiraTàrrega: epicentre of professional activity
Once again, FiraTàrrega has scheduled a series of workshops, seminars and meetings, specially
designed to encourage interchange and mutual comprehension between professionals from
around the world. These activities include roundtable discussions focused on Mexican theatrical
production; a Ministry of Culture Lunchtime Meeting, which will be held for the seventh year
running; and a training session in digital media (digital positioning and promotion), among others.
In addition, professionals will have at their disposal La Llotja, an exhibition hall with stands,
conference rooms and meeting spaces. FiraTàrrega will thus become, yet again, a hive of
professional activity for the performing arts sector.
1.6 FiraTàrrega’s audiences: a qualitative analysis
FiraTàrrega works year on year to improve in quality and in the number of visitors, as well as in its
impact and projection at an international level. Therefore, it has taken serious note of the study
which CERES (Sociological and Market Research) carried out into last year’s Fira. In general
terms, and with regard to the economic and social impact of the Fira, we should highlight that the
2012 edition received a total of 147,000 attendees. The majority of visitors were between 20 and
40 years of age, with an average age of 33. Most of the participants had been to previous editions
of the Fira and one third had done so on more than 10 occasions. In general, last year’s public was
satisfied with the Fira, giving it a valuation of 7.29 on average, and most said that they were very
likely to return and to recommend the Fira.

2 PROGRAMMING
FiraTàrrega’s programme is synonymous with street arts. The listings include a set of companies
which, in general, understand the spaces in which they perform as an essential element of their
message: they occupy squares, streets or parks… as well as unexpected, surprising or little known
corners of our shared urban environment. Public space, with all its dramatic possibilities, and the
city as a driving force for artistic activity and a magnet for theatrical creation; these are the central
elements of FiraTàrrega.
The main pillars of FiraTàrrega’s programming for 2013 are novelty; richness of content and
writing; as well as the international orientation of most of the pieces presented. A collection of
unique works, most of which are closely connected, thematically and formally, to the times we are
living through: due to their critical and committed attitude; because they are innovative or
technological; as a result of their willingness to connect up with global audiences at the same time
as being very personal… The Fira’s artistic project has a clear democratic orientation, based on
connecting up with ordinary people and a commitment to everybody’s right to have access to
culture.
2.1 FiraTàrrega’s 2013 programming in figures
A total of 77 companies will present 78 shows at FiraTàrrega 2013. Of these companies, 57% are
Catalan, 22% come from the rest of the Spanish State (17) and 21% are international (16), coming
from seven different countries: Mexico, Colombia, Chile, United Kingdom, France, Belgium and
Italy.
Of all the shows in the official programme, more than half (52%) are world premieres.
Four of the companies participating in the FiraTàrrega programme, offering a total of five different
shows, are from Lleida.
Regarding genre, 74% of this year’s offer in the FiraTàrrega programme (37) come within the
category of street arts (including performances in non-conventional spaces) and 26% (13) are
shows for traditional theatre stages (including outdoor spaces). Overall, the programme includes
an offer of theatre, circus, dance, new drama, multidisciplinary shows, performances, street
installations and music.
Concerning the public, 44% of the performances are directed at adults (22) and the rest are shows
for all ages (56%, that is, 28 events).
If we look at the prices, 48% of the shows have free entry, while 26% are indoor performances with
a paid ticket, and another 26% are street performances with a limited capacity.

You will find more detailed information and graphics for this data in the Appendix to this press pack (p.35)
2.2 Opening show: arts of movement and commitment
The company Nats Nus, under the guidance of choreographer and director Toni Mira, will be
responsible for the opening show. Inspired by the social and political context in which we are
currently living, this performance has change as its central theme. Dance, acrobatics and video will
be the protagonists of Transforma-T — the title is a play on words, which can be read in Catalan
6
and Spanish as “transform yourself” — a large format event which FiraTàrrega is co-producing with
Zaragoza City Council for the ‘Fiestas del Pilar’ celebrations.
2.3 Street arts: a panorama of infinite artistic possibilities
The fact that street arts offer endless artistic possibilities is demonstrated by the work of companies
that have gone through the Creative Support Programme. The productions which are premiering
in 2013 share the common goal of breathing fresh life into the current panorama, whether through
experimental work or with something more popular and accessible. The most daring space
features the companies that have participated in our Creative Labs: Insectotròpics, Joan Català
and Macarena Recuerda Shepherd. On the other hand, the words of Catalonia’s currently most
translated playwright Esteve Soler, will resound throughout Tàrrega in Contra la ciutat (Against the
city) an experience that is halfway between visual arts and performing arts, and very critical of the
dehumanised city that we live in today. Ârtica will be another of the important events of this year’s
Fira. It is the latest production of Ponten Pie, a small scale experience of great poetic weight. The
most playful part of this section comes thanks to the Italian Ondadurto Theatre, with their festive
and ironic approach to folk tales.
Other key novelties to be taken into account on the official street arts programme are Street M[u]F,
from the musician David Brown; Entre tu i jo (Between you and me), from the choreographer Mar
Gómez; Abcisse, by the creator Jordi Gali; or Carnaval, from the Basques of Cielo Raso, which
will include the participation of the dancers Igor Calonge, Daniel Abreu and Dácil Gonzalez.
Pere Faura, Company Chameleon, the Fundación Collado-Van Hoestenberghe and Ertza are
just some of the names that complete the street programme in this 2013 edition.
2.4 Site-specific theatre: a commitment to other stages and to creation
in unconventional spaces
The site specific programme will feature some well known names and others which are yet to be
discovered. The Chilean group Teatro del Niño Proletario returns to Tàrrega with El otro (The
other), a show in which they tell a story of great emotional impact; Res de Res, from the Balearic
Islands, will bring (remor), a movement piece inspired by the experience of life in a prison cell; the
Andalusians of Trasto Teatro will share the experience of a wake in the biting work, Los
satisfechos; and the Catalan Txell Roda will offer us an experience-journey through the work of
Manuel Vazquez Montalbán, through his detective character, Pepe Carvalho, in Carvalho contra
Vázquez Montalbán.
2.5 Indoor theatre: international vocation
Good examples of the best dance and circus that are produced in Catalonia will run through the
indoor programming, leaving some space for hybrid drama. Among other offers, we will have
names such as the choreographer and dancer Sol Picó, with the sincere, convulsive and hopeful
Memòries d’una puça (Memoirs of a flea); the clown Leandre, who will open to the public the doors
of his home with Rien à dire; the Valencians of PanicMap and their technological adventure Harket
[Protocolo]; Psirc with the indoor version of Acrometria; or the always surprising Zirkus
Frak/Jorge Albuerne with the striking Nomarramón.
7
2.6 The FiraTàrrega Workshops: a gateway to future creators
The FiraTàrrega 2013 programme will include the participation of students who take part in our
different Street Arts study programmes, in a total of four workshops. Two of these are a result of
work by students on the Master’s Degree in Street Arts coordinated by FiraTàrrega and the
University of Lleida, in collaboration with the directors Paul Long (Metro-Boulot-Dodo) and Ignacio
Achurra (La Patriotico Interesante), respectively. The third workshop emerges from the
participation of the Catalan artist Ernesto Collado in the training programme for actors of the CUT
(UNAM) in Mexico. Finally, the group Grupo Carro FC, will premiere In Forma Pauperis, a
workshop for which they count on the collaboration of students from the Theatre Institute.
2.7 Company spaces: involving the sector in the FiraTàrrega project
The FiraTàrrega 2013 programme will be rounded off with the presence of other companies, as
well as with the participation of the following company spaces: 23Arts, specialising in street arts; La
maleta dels espectacles, who specialise in performances for family audiences and circus lovers; or
the ADGAE space, where the principal management and distribution agencies in the Spanish State
will present a selection of their best pieces.

3 DETAILED PROGRAMME
3.1 The opening show
Transforma-T
NATS NUS
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Dance (street)
A large-format dance show, created for the inauguration of FiraTàrrega 2013, that explores and uses various
stage languages: acrobatics, handling objects, percussion, shadows and audiovisuals. Inspired by our
current situation, Toni Mira presents a reflection about transformation and struggle in today’s world, about
the need to redirect and reinvent our society. A staging and visual game with situations of change and
mutability thanks to the movement, image and versatility of a large cubic structure. A co-production with
Zaragoza City Council – Fiestas del Pilar and with the collaboration of El Graner Centre de Creació.
After working with different theatre and dance companies, in 1987 Toni Mira founded the theatre dance
company, Nats Nus, with which he has had a long career with many large-format and video-dance shows.
He later diversified his work, not only as a dancer and choreographer but also collaborating in important
theatrical, musical and television productions. In 2010, he received the National Dance Award from the
Generalitat de Catalunya. Show with 360º visibility.

3.2 Official section
 The Mexican showcase
The guest country at FiraTàrrega 2013 is Mexico. A selection of six exceptional productions will come to
Tàrrega, with a combination of street performances, indoor theatre and site-specific pieces. We will have the
European premieres of the latest productions from the great flagship companies of contemporary Mexican
theatre, such as Teatro Línea de Sombra or Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes. Also appearing for the first time
will be the latest production of the Centro Nacional de Teatro, under the direction of the controversial Richard
Viqueira.
Carnada
COMPAÑÍA NACIONAL DE TEATRO
PREMIERE
Theater (room)
The company that is the flagship of Mexican theatre arrives in
Tàrrega with a show directed by Richard Viqueira, one of the
most daring creative figures in Mexico today, whose always
controversial pieces try to force the audience to take sides. A
very interesting combination of an iconoclastic and
transgressive reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s King Lear. A
tragic story about the desire of durability, about adulation and
trickery and, in short, the weaknesses of the human condition
before the inevitability of extinction and death.
La máquina de Esquilo
LA MÁQUINA DE ESQUILO
PREMIERE
Theater (room)
Aeschylus, who fought against the Persian invasion of
Greece in the 5th century BC, dramatised his experiences in
the war, which has led him traditionally to be considered the
creator of Greek tragedy. This entertaining show, by young
Mexican actors, takes us back to the Aeschylus’ epoch with a
comedy that takes a journey through the history of dramatic
art, from its earliest beginnings to its consolidation. A streettheatre comedy with live music that is just right for young
audiences and which evokes divinities and nymphs and
updates a series of classic characters, from Prometheus to
the Oceanides.
10
PREMIERE
Todavía… siempre
TEATRO DE CIERTOS HABITANTES
Theater (room)
A leading company in the Latin-American creative vanguard
who have travelled around festivals on the five continents.
The show, that always takes into account the complicity of the
audience, explains the story of two lovers who split up in their
youth and who meet again in old age. With the staging by
Claudio Valdés Kuri and a magnificent performance by Tara
Parra – a genuine living legend of Mexican acting – the story
focuses on issues such as wisdom, patience, pain, death and,
especially, the enjoyment and meaning of life. A story of
moving experiences in which fragility becomes a reflexive
pretext of extreme intensity.
PREMIERE
Baños Roma
TEATRO LÍNEA DE SOMBRA
Theater (room)
This Mexican company with a high international profile,
created in 1993, is dedicated to contemporary creation
through the convergence of visual languages, physical
theatre objects and a strong commitment to the reality of their
surroundings. From the random and transversal story of the
life of the ex-world boxing champion José Ángel
“Mantequilla”, Nápoles constructs a show that speaks about
the violence suffered by Ciudad Juárez and that, by
extension, runs throughout Mexican society. A metaphor built
on the basis of an accumulation of objects, newspaper
headlines, anecdotes and images caught in the memory, and
that outline the shadow of a man, a place and a moment in
history. Subtitled in English. Humour.
Lo único que necesita una gran actriz
es una gran obra y las ganas de triunfar
VACA 35
PREMIERE
New dramaturgy
Free and updated adaptation of The Maids by Jean Genet,
articulated around two central themes: life as a mechanical
experience and the theatre as a place of authenticity in a
world that has transformed art into a commodity. Two
actresses, two women who play two servants, bring to life one
of 20th-century drama’s key texts, with a structure that
reveals the real and fictional limits of the actors, of the
character, of the audience, of the space and of the play itself.
A unique opportunity for the audience to live close up an
complete stage experience.

Always Drinking Marching Band
ALWAYS DRINKING MARCHING BAND
Catalonia

Since they started touring back in around 2000, Always have

PREMIERE
Catalonia
Circus (street)
Indomador
ANIMAL RELIGION
An empty space; natural, clean, without hiding places. A man
tries to control his animal instincts so as to discover who he is
through the different stages of his life. A story about fear and
accepting oneself. A show that reveals the uncontrollable force
we all carry within. Circus, music and movement. Verticals,
acrobatics on high heels, a spoon up the nose, cock crows,
animal sex, ritual dances, physical and mental metamorphoses...
An ambiguous and wild universe that is, at the same time,
intimate and real. A piece that connects us to our deepest animal
nature.
Te odiero
CANDELARIA ANTELO&ARTHUR BERNARD BAZIN
Madrid
Dance (street)
An award-winning choreographic piece envisaged as the search
for its own language based on physical expression. A work that
questions our limits as humans and with elementary
communication through movement. Imagination, humour and
emotion are the ingredients for a communicative space that aims
to build links with the audience. Dance conceived as a balance
between identities, bodies and actions, as a force that transforms
and regenerates through confrontation on stage.
12
Externet
CIA FADUNITO I EL BURRO DELS JOCS
Catalonia
Installations (street)
An installation conceived for public spaces and for all ages which
aims to awaken interest in communication, literature and poetry,
in an enjoyable and participative way. Through a circular
structure and a system of tubes, the audience can recite and
listen to poetic messages and experience the possibilities this
literary genre offers beyond the typical media and usual formats.
Ceci 3.0
CIA FADUNITO
Catalonia
Theater (street)
Through playing and interacting with the audience, we discover
the soul and humanity of a very special wheelchair. A show that
aims to debunk the fear and the excessive precautions that
disability often provokes. Surprise appearances in the
performance area.
The incredible Box
CIA. LA TAL
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Theater (street)
They have travelled widely around the world with street shows
like Les fotogrâfiers or Démodés and present a new piece
directed by Leandre Ribera. Characters taken to the limits, who
present a theatricality that borders on the most grotesque
clowning. A story that explains how the greatest show of all time
can become the quirkiest, most absurd, ridiculous and
extravagant. A humorous reflection about the durability of art.
Each of the performances stars different characters, up to a total
of four: magic, Shakespeare, opera and circus.
13
Carnaval
CIA. CIELO RASO
PREMIERE
Euskadi
Dance (street)
Two men and a woman are absorbed by the frenetic rhythm of
carnival. Magnetism, music, dance. The body becomes a unique
tool for expression, pleasure, beauty and the grotesque. A binge
of fantasy that ends up with a hangover of reality. This
experienced dance company, directed by Ígor Calonge, takes
Brazil’s most popular festival as a pretext to reflect on the human
being and the extreme situations in which good and evil take on a
new dimension.
Entre tu i jo
CIA. MAR GÓMEZ
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Dance (street)
This dance company makes a new choreographic incursion into
public spaces. A piece that delves into a private world full of
contradictions, where a couple’s life together is presented as a
voluntary kidnapping, where it is never clear who is kidnapping
whom. An intimate story, about an intimate relationship…
shamelessly exposed in the street and for everyone to see. A
work conceived as a complementary mirror for For ever and a
day, its twin show indoor show, with which it shares characters
and core theme: the less romantic aspects of couples’
relationships.
Push
COMPANY CHAMELEON
United Kingdom
Dance (street)
British dancing duo, strongly focussed on public spaces, who we
could first see at FiraTàrrega 2011 with their “Search & Find”,
within the production Gravity at Sant Eloi Park. Push is a
choreographic piece that explores interpersonal contact and its
physical and emotional resonance. A sensitive, physical work, a
vision of our relations with others and the structures of
dominance and control that we establish with our peers.
Coproduced by Without Walls and Dance Initiative Greater
Manchester.

Street M[u]f
DAVID MORENO&CIA
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Musical (street)
After the international success of his first solo show, Floten
tecles, first performed at FiraTàrrega 2008, David Moreno has
surrounded himself with deluxe collaborators (directed by Toni
Mira, with the external vision of Leandre Ribera) and presents us
with a choreography for 3 performers and 33 instruments. An
innovative proposal, with music and movement as the
protagonists, in which theatre, circus and dance merge together.
A journey through play and emotions, with large helpings of
humour and poetry, which will lift the audience to a new
dimension.
4x4
ERTZA
Euskadi
Dance (street)
The aim of this young company is to create a new space where
contemporary dance embraces many other disciplines and
whose premise is emotion without artifice. In this case, they offer
an urban dance show that mixes the virtuosity of the performers
with a demand: the right to be different. Formulated as a
cockfight, the piece features two couples who show their rivalry
and take part in an out and out dance battle, an energetic
crescendo of rhythms and styles.
Cru
FET A MÀ
PREMIERE
France
Circus (room)
A company based in France created in 2008 by the Catalans Pau
Portabella and Marta Torrents after training at the Lido Circus
Arts Center in Toulouse. Their work is based on the fusion of
theatre, dance and acrobatics. In Cru, they present a circus
without artifice, based on the body and the expression of feelings,
so as to speak, through everyday images, about the harshness of
the situations that overwhelm us, of social taboos and strong
emotions. A show where the impossible becomes possible.
15
De miracles i meravelles. Conferència optimista
FUNDACIÓN COLLADO-VAN HOESTENBERGHE
Catalonia
Performance
An atypical talk, with live music, on the street. The speaker
contradicts himself a lot. He interprets the theory of relativity,
shows how John Wayne would buy the newspaper and he
dances... to end up showing that all three things are really the
same. With a single flick of his fingers, he makes things appear
and disappear, like a magician. And, like a magician, he also has
an assistant. It is she who makes the music, supplies vitamins
and moves the story on when the speaker gets lost. To finish,
time for questions, which the audience takes home, together with
an optimism that lasts at least until the next morning’s coffee.
Yo estuve allí y… no lo contaron como yo lo ví
HORTZMUGA TEATROA
Euskadi
Theater (street)
A show about the relation between power, politics and the media.
How the media construct the big official truths, how they
manipulate the facts, how they make biased interpretations, how
they create smokescreens to protect the interests of the powerful.
A theatrical work that uncovers the workings of the most powerful
media to make us see that we are immersed in disinformation.
The news is the star of this piece that Hortzmuga take to the
street, to the centre of the Agora, to compare their ideas with the
most authentic public opinion. A piece included in the Creation
Support Program at FiraTàrrega 2012.
Glof
JAM
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Theater (street)
With Humortal, this company of street clowns did a long
international tour. In this new offer, with the participation of Àlex
Navarro as director, they present a golfer who, accompanied by
his two caddies, aims to conquer the World Cup of Golf. Three
characters, aware of the destruction of the landscape that their
sport so often implies, decide to use the streets, squares and
balconies as their course.
16
Trash!
JASHGAWRONSKY BROTHERS
Italy
Musical (room)
Precisely what the Jashgawronskys do is to apply all their
creative energy to transforming rubbish and unlikely elements
into an inexhaustible resource for making music: brooms,
buckets, waste-paper baskets, graters, toilet paper... A hilarious
concert for all ages where the greatest hits of pop are performed
with instruments made of recycled material and rubbish.
Abscisse
JORDI GALÍ
PREMIERE
France
New dramaturgy
The dancer Jordi Galí is fascinated by the gestures and
movements of manual work and which make up the raw material
of the creative process. He showed this at FiraTàrrega 2011 with
his previous work Ciel. Now he presents a new architectural
fiction for public spaces based around three performers, ladders,
ropes and several pieces of wood. An exercise of great visual
magnetism that explores the tension between contradictory
forces (verticality, horizontality, elevation, inversion) and whose
final result is the construction of a complex structure.
Rien à dire
LEANDRE
Catalonia
Circus (room)
A silent show for all ages, where this international clown
observes humankind and, in recreating it, produces a very
personal mixture of humour and poetry. On the stage, four
pieces of furniture and a door. Without walls. A house full of
empty spaces, openings to the absurd, visited by imagined
spectators. A single character surrounded by presences
and imbalances. A time which has stopped at a frenetic
rhythm, with ghosts in the cupboards, flying socks, raining
umbrellas, playful mirrors, elusive lamps, surprise packets,
telepathic pianos, silent music. A house of dreams to share
solitude and emotions. Leandre’s house
17
Manipulat
Catalonia
Intallations (street)
DIVERSES COMPANYIES
Seven playful artistic pieces in a venue dedicated to creative entertainment for all the family. A
good time for playing, laughing and sharing that will stimulate your brain.
Cia. Itinerània
An interactive installation of artefacts that challenge the skills of the
members of the audience who want to put themselves in the place of
a puppet. This requires coordination, precision, balance... and a
puppet’s soul.
Tombs Creatius
Ten robotic play structures built from with recycled wood, a fair of
curiosities from Mr. Tonet’s travels. Each game hides a singular
creature.
Circ Delícia
A tricycle that turns into a stage where two musicians loaded down
with strange instruments do juggling, choreographies, humour and
circus to the rhythm of the music.

possible obstacles.

Cia. Katakrak
An installation of gadgets that poses challenges and offers a creative
look at the objects lying around us. Art, play and recycling are
combined with the principles of electricity and renewable energy.
Cia. Ymedioteatro
A mini-theatre on wheels that has room for the biggest dreams.
Surprising comic sketches based on handling everyday objects that
come to life and tell us their stories.
Ronan Tully
Mr Punch is always involved in outlandish situations that go beyond
the limits of common sense. Traditional Irish glove puppets and
original live music.

MARCO VARGAS&CHLOÉ BRÛLÉ
Andalusia
Dance (street)
Since 2005, the duo of Vargas and Brûlé have been in
permanent creative harmony with their own language defined by
flamenco and contemporary dance. This new show for two
bailaores, conceived for a public place and singular venues, is
inspired in all those people we secretly fall in love with for an
instant. Those persons we meet by chance, who pass through
our lives fleetingly, with whom we share melancholies and
happiness with only a glance, without exchanging a single word.
Anywhere, by chance.

NACHO VILAR PRODUCCIONES i PRODUCCIONES GAUPASA
Múrcia
Theater (street)
Itinerant show with music, choreographies and pyrotechnics, that
brings back the seventies, a time in our recent history when
tourism was all the rage in a country just awakening from the
lethargic slumber of the dictatorship. Memories, moments,
soundtracks, smells, symbols… A grey epoch marked by the
television, in singular, that had become the only escape valve. A
walking tour through our collective memory.
Harket [Protocolo]
PANICMAP PROYECTOS ESCÉNICOS
València
Theater (room)
An interdisciplinary project that combines dance, theatre,
humour, music, design, video-mapping and technology. A
science-fiction story directed by Juan Pablo Mendiola and
performed by the actress and choreographer, Cristina
Fernàndez, about the experiences of a young volunteer who
takes part in an experiment into the possibility of surviving in a
bunker with only the help of an artificial intelligence system. A
story that interweaves themes like trust, betrayal and our need as
humans to establish links. A trans-media project that spills over
into the social networks, where the spectators can expand their
experience (see www.panicmap.com). Selected at the Xarxa
Alcover 2012. Subtitled in English.
Todos al patio
PERE FAURA
Catalonia
Performance
A choreographer and dancer, Pere Faura has shown great talent
as a performer and creator for the stage. He came to FiraTàrrega
2012 with Ràdio Patio and Dansa Real ja!, and now,
accompanied by two performers, he presents a show of
multidisciplinary improvisation where the audience propose the
different ingredients that appear on stage: from the general
subject, specific actions or dances, to the music or the contents
of the videos. The audience becomes the author, director and
playwright of a show that combines text, dance, music and video
in a stage event that is as unpredictable as it is unrepeatable.
Presented together with Antic Teatre.

Acrometria
PSIRC
Catalonia
Circus (room)
A young circus company that won the Zirkolika Award 2012 as
the revelation of the season. After various short pieces, they have
moved on to a long show, with the external advice of Alba
Sarraute. Three people find themselves trapped in a timeless
reality from which they are not sure they will ever be able to
escape. Meanwhile, they create human geometries and a new
language to survive and understand what lies around them,
accepting the existence of infinite realities. A piece with its own
interdisciplinary stage vocabulary, that ranges from acrobatics
and dance, to the Chinese pole or object handling. A show
created with the support of Process()s, a project from the
Pyrenees-Mediterranean Euro-region.

RES DE RES
Catalonia/Balearics
New dramaturgy
One of the Balearic companies with most international prestige,
they have visited the Fira several times. They now present their
latest production, a movement piece where two characters meet
again through their remembrances. A brief but intense experience
that the audience live through inside a 35 cubic-metre structure
that evokes a prison cell. A story of freedom featuring two people
who recreate a relationship of mutual dependence lived intimately
beyond any limit.
Memòries d’una puça
SOL PÌCÓ CIA. DE DANSA
Catalonia
Dance (room)
“We see loss as an opportunity”. This is the idea at the heart of
the new creation by Sol Picó, a particular vision of decadence
and desolation. A reflection about the present, seen as a
devastating hurricane that stops us from moving forward, and
about the need to change this world, to escape from this
suffocating situation. Three nomads plan a journey that ends with
them adrift, like a message in a bottle, a desire, a desperate plea
for help… Fantasy and the absurd are the axes of this
choreographic piece. An exercise in sincerity, convulsion and
optimism.
21
El Otro
TEATRO NIÑO PROLETARIO
PREMIERE
Xile
New dramaturgy
The latest work by this Chilean company that turns its gaze
towards the most marginal places and most anonymous beings
and who offered us their site-specific El olivo at FiraTàrrega
2011. In this new show, they present a story with a great
emotional impact, in which the characters are the patients in a
psychiatric hospital, through whom they construct an allegory of
love-passion as a veritable stupidity and where life shows its
most radical and authentic colours. A story inspired by Paz
Errázuriz and Diamela Eltit’s book El infarto del alma, constructed
as a series of everyday scenes that attempt to deal with the
subject of affective survival in our times.
Los Satisfechos
TRASTO TEATRO
Andalusia
New dramaturgy
A company created in 2002 and which, with a dozen shows, has
earned it a great international reputation — to the point that the
works of its director, Raúl Cortés, have been the subject of a
thesis at the University of Pisa. This show, set in a wake, is a
portrait of hunger through sharp and witty humour. Three
characters wander among the ruins of daily life and face up to
their existence calmly and courageously, aware that this is the
most precious element of their rebellion. A mirror that reflects
back the image of those who have lost everything except their
sense of humour.
Carvalho contra Vázquez Montalbán
MVM, 10 ANYS D’ABSÈNCIA
Catalonia
New dramaturgy
Surrounded by books and immersed and in a great metaphor,
Carvalho cooks a leg of lamb in beer. This famous character,
created by the writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, is the star of a
monologue adapted as a post-modern and conceptual installation
by Txell Roda. A peculiar function that has the feel of a 1970s
happening and situates the audience among the shelves of a
library. A theatrical artefact that offers a clear and diaphanous
view of an epoch and a country through the writer’s characters
and clairvoyance. This show enjoys the participation of the town’s
artistic assets and forms part of the project, MVM 10 Years of
Absence in commemoration of Vázquez Montalbán.
22
Nomarramón
ZIRKUS FRAK / JORGE ALBUERNE
Catalonia
Circus (room)
The latest work by this creator who moves between the worlds of
the circus and of movement. A solo that presents a close and
intimate relationship with various ingredients. The figure of the
grandfather, death, chance, the meaning of life and what we
leave behind us. A stage exercise where the plastic and text,
action and content, rhythm and silence come together. An
exercise in reflection in which the circus appears, with its
philosophy, forms, physical effort and emotions. The vision of the
two worlds connected by genetics that opens windows on history,
aesthetics and human relations. A show presented jointly with
Antic Teatre. Premi Zirkolika Award 2012 for the Best Show in
Indoor Venue.
3.3 Plataforma FiraTàrrega
For the third year running, FiraTàrrega has committed itself to the Creation Support Programme,
which aims to promote the creation of street art shows through different creative laboratories,
artistic residencies — with their corresponding open rehearsals — internationally produced
performances, courses and workshops. The work of the companies involved shows that street arts
offer endless artistic possibilities. The productions which are premiering in 2013 share the common
goal of breathing fresh life into the current panorama, whether through experimental work or with
something more popular and accessible.
The most daring space of the Plataforma FiraTàrrega — made up of the eight most promising
shows of those which are included in the Creation Support Programme — highlight companies that
have participated in the Creative Labs: Insectotròpics, Joan Català and Macarena Recuerda
Shepherd. On the other hand, the words of Catalonia’s currently most translated playwright,
Esteve Soler, will resound throughout Tàrrega in Contra la ciutat (Against the city), an experience
that is midway between visual arts and performing arts, and very critical of the dehumanised city
that we live in today. Ârtica will be another of the important events of this year’s Fira. It is the latest
production of Ponten Pie, a small scale experience of great poetic weight. The most playful part of
this section comes thanks to the Italians of Ondadurto Theatre, with their festive and ironic
approach to folk tales, entitled C’era una volta. The performances that form part of the Creation
Support Programme are Otradnoie.1, of the Cia. Proyecto Otradnoie and El lloc, by Íntims
Produccions.
These projects make up a fifth of the FiraTàrrega programme for 2013 and reveal the work carried
out by the Fira in stimulating street arts throughout the year. An effort which has the explicit aim of
having an impact on the processes of creative renewal. Among the specific objectives of this
programme are the promotion of creation by emerging artists, promoting education focused on
artistic creation and the creation of strategic alliances to develop street arts circuits and
productions both at a national and a transnational level.

Support Creation Programming 2013
Catalonia
Circus (street)
Otradnoie (the name of a Russian village which means “the place
where consolation can be found”) is the name of this circus company
formed in 2009 between Barcelona and Toulouse. Its work is based
on the search for a language where circus, movement, objects and
devices come together to produce and control sound. Otradnoie 1
refers to a world dominated by oblivion, full of objects that have lost
their purpose. Human stupidity has spread everywhere and the
avalanche of information, consumerism, waste and insatisfaction are
the basis of the dominant lifestyle. Otradnoie is the refuge of memory
where a man and a woman dance surrounded by an atmosphere of
sound that suggests hope, possibility, life. This show also includes
the participation of the Fira del Circ Trapezi de Reus and Nau
Ivanow.

MACARENA RECUERDA SHEPERD
PREMIERE
Catalonia
New dramaturgy
An artist with a long career and broad creative range, founder of the
new creators’ platform, Colectivo Estraperlo, who has been producing
her own shows since 2008. This project arose from her passion for
detective stories, film noir and the comics of the 1930s. It is a roleplay in which the audience has to take on a role and became an
active player in this plot of intrigue. A guided tour round the town that
turns the street into a stage where the limits between fiction and
real life become blurred. A detective puzzle in which the
audience changes sides and helps to construct the show. This
work is a coproduction of FiraTàrrega, Escena Poblenou, BAD
de Bilbao and Antic Teatre.
Ârtica
PONTEN PIE
PREMIERE
Catalonia
New dramaturgy
The third show by this company who became known in 2009 after a
Creation Laboratory at FiraTàrrega with their Copacabana, in which
they smashed all theatrical conventions to offer a unique, culinary
experience and which they have performed over 180 times around
the world. In Ârtica, they continue this line of investigating new
theatrical languages and audience involvement to offer a
multidisciplinary, sensorial and not at all conventional piece. In small
groups, the audience enter an old wooden house where they are met
by silent characters who offer them warmth and where they can hear
a series of surprising stories. An open window into an intimate world
of nostalgia and poetry.

Catalonia
New dramaturgy
A young company from the Municipal Theatre Class in Lleida who
present a first show with the writing and expert direction of JorgeYamam Serrano, director of TeatrodeCerca (Moritz Award at
FiraTàrrega 2012). With the pretext of a historical event (the
massacre of Jews in Tàrrega in 1348), a tale is woven where the
past and the present come together. Starting with a game, four
friends who have met up in their usual place bring out the truths
that they normally keep hidden between themselves. A sitespecific work that looks into the historical charge of particular
places and the connection between our lives and the oft-forgotten
lives of our ancestors. The show forms part of the Escorxadebats
programme of the Teatre Municipal de l’Escorxador, Lleida.

INSECTOTRÒPICS
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Multidisciplinary
After La Caputxeta galàctica, which we saw at FiraTàrrega in
2012, this multidisciplinary company, made up of two painters, a
musician and three video-experimenters, presents a second
show that goes more deeply into plastic and expressive research
and the mixing of means and languages. A montage that makes
us reflect about current themes, like human perversion, the
meanness hidden behind state machinery, the manipulation of
citizens’ opinions or the generation and spread of myths.
Coproduced with the CAET / TNT.
Contra la ciutat
ESTEVE SOLER i JORDI QUERALT
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Multidisciplinary
A project based on the literary universe of the playwright Esteve
Soler, whose trilogy Contra el progrés, Contra la democràcia and
Contra l’amor has had a great impact thanks to its critical tone
and sense of humour. Contra la ciutat permits a “morally altered”
discovery of the city. It is a physical itinerary that reflects the
monsters and contradictions of everyday life, and ponders on the
dehumanisation of society, while making the audience take an
active part and become propagators of messages. Starting from
a map*, an interactive presentation and numerous actions, the
audience has the chance to travel round the town and switch
25
between an questionable reality and a surprising fiction.
*The route map can be acquired at the information point in Plaça
del Carme, for €3.

JOAN CATALÀ
PREMIERE
Catalonia
Circ (street)
The first solo show by this young multidisciplinary creator trained
in the plastic arts, theatre, circus and dance, with an extensive
international curriculum. A piece that arises from the observation
of handcraft and from introspection into the artist’s own
geographical and family origins, to experiment with space and
movement and create a dialogue between nature and the
individual that seeks to connect with the audience. A work
designed for a public space, where four unknown people join the
performer to work towards the same target, in a ritual about the
ephemeral. A reflection about our phenomenal and disturbing
journey through life. A coproduction by FiraTàrrega and El
Graner, with the support of the Festival Sismògraf (Olot), Teatre
Municipal de l’Escorxador (Lleida), Trayectos (Zaragoza) and the
Festival TNT (Terrassa).
C’era una volta
ONDADURTO TEATRO
PREMIERE
Italy
Theter (street)
An Italian company that works through gesture, acrobatics and
theatre-dance combined with stage machines, video and music.
Taking the imaginative world of traditional tales as its source of
inspiration, the show recreates a magic world that blurs the
frontiers between good and evil, light and darkness, love and
death. The audience is led behind the mirror to rediscover the
most hidden facets of the characters that have accompanied us
since our infancy: Little Red Riding-Hood, Snow White, witches
and evil stepmothers. A multimedia allegory about our
contemporary lifestyle, of great visual impact, dynamic, ironic and
with touches of musical review. Coproduced between the Italian
festival, Mirabilia, and FiraTàrrega.
3.4 FiraTàrrega Workshops
One of the important elements of the FiraTàrrega programme for 2013 is developed with the
involvement of students who participate in the different Street Arts educational programmes. In fact,
here we can see the role played by FiraTàrrega as a gateway for future creators. We will present
four workshops. Two of them are a product of work by the students from the first promotion of the
26
Master’s Degree in Street Arts coordinated by FiraTàrrega and the University of Lleida, in
collaboration with the directors Paul Long (Metro-Boulot-Dodo) and Ignacio Achurra (La
Patriotico Interesante) , respectively. A third one is a result of the participation of the Catalan artist
Ernesto Collado in the training programme for actors of the CUT (UNAM) in Mexico. Finally, the
group Grupo Carro FC, will premiere In Forma Pauperis, a workshop in which they count on the
collaboration of students from the Theatre Institute. This workshop is presented in conjunction
with the commemoration events for the centenary of this body.

Theater (street)
Ignacio Achurra (La Patriótico Interesante) and students from the
FiraTàrrega’s Master's Degree in Street Arts Creation present a
show with street essence. A piece with a social content that will
not leave you unmoved. A group of workers carry an anonymous
statue. We see military parades, kings hanging by the neck,
unemployed people warming themselves around a brazier,
minstrels and singers, we hear the cries of imaginary merchants,
football drums echo in the distance... A reflection about the
iconography and the perverse effects of power, about the class
stratification of society, about people’s capacity to organise
themselves, about the possibility of recovering the agora, the
ideal collective space for social demands and for theatre.

In Forma Pauperis
GRUPO CARRO F. C.
PREMIERE
Theater (street)
After being thrown out of their own home, the characters confront
the forces of public order. A collective creation that arose from a
workshop in the Theatre Institute, benefiting from the advice of
the prestigious Chilean director, Ignacio Achurra. This group of
young performers regard public spaces as the ideal scenario for
their visual dramas. A critical proposal that connects us with the
leading themes of contemporary society: housing, protests
against the established order, virtual reality and the social
networks, the cult of the image, the media’s power to subvert
reality… A creation that appeals to the audience in the collective
space and that reclaims the human race’s most precious
possessions: the creative spirit, freedom to think and freedom to
act. Coproduced by FiraTàrrega and the Theatre Institute.
Verdades como puños

PREMIERE
Theater (street)
A production that owes its existence to collaboration
between FiraTàrrega and the Centre University
School of Theatre at the Autonomous University of
Mexico with the support of the Mexican National
Institute of Fine Arts. With Ernesto Collado’s
experience in the dramatic narration of realities
inspired by social movements like 15-M, this show
aims to touch on the most sensitive nerve in today’s
Mexican society. Based on urban legends and
personal experiences of a group of young drama
students, it tells us about their view of a country that
is unreachable. With humour as an essential
element, they invent truths that help them to move
forward through the mediocrity and adulteration of a
government that no longer represents them. They
take over language to write their own history and
convert their lives into a novel. Fresh, intense,
unashamed. VITRINA MEXICANA 2013
3.5 Business Programme
The FiraTàrrega programme is completed by the participation of the following companies involved
in the distribution of shows: 23Arts, specialising in street arts; La maleta d’espectacles, dedicated
to family audiences and circus lovers, and the ADGAE space, where the principal management
and distribution agencies in the Spanish State will present a selection of their best pieces. With this
sort of collaboration, FiraTàrrega has been establishing an increasingly fluid dialogue which this
28
year takes the form of 28 shows which can be classified into: pieces for children; late-night
sessions; and more traditional street performances.

For over 20 years, Guixot de 8 have been building games with
recycled materials. They have given new life to some 10 tonnes
of scrap metal. Now they present two sets of surprising,
imaginative games. 'Gargot de jocs' is a challenge of virtuosity,
wit and skill for all ages. 'Gargot d'escultura' is a singular homage
to the 20th-century “kinetic” sculptors. A playful piece that aims to
take works of art out of the stuffy confines of the museums into
the rhythm and movement of the street. This entertainment for
the whole family will ensure a good time for all.

success in 2013. The story they have produced is about Halloween Town, the place where monsters,
murderers, vampires, witches and ghosts all live side by side and where their leader, Jack, the King of the
Dead, tired of frightening people, dreams about conquering Christmas Town, where everything is peace and
happiness. WINNER OF THE CITY OF TÀRREGA AMATEUR THEATRE AWARD 2013.

4 PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
True to its philosophy of being a highly transversal event where the concerns of citizens and those
of the companies and professionals within the sector come together, FiraTàrrega has prepared,
once again, activities specifically aimed at the latter. Thus, the Fira consolidates its role as a centre
for conferences, presentations and meetings of associations, with these being understood as
spaces for exchange and reflection among practitioners from the entire universe of the performing
arts in general and from that of street arts in particular.
4.1 Digital training
On the morning of Thursday, 5 September there will be a training session on advanced digital
communications especially designed for companies and for professionals in general. This session,
run by Playbrand, a strategic consultancy firm specialising in digital marketing and media, will
focus on social networks and digital media and, in particular, on positioning and promotion through
the network.
4.2 Focus on Mexico
Mexico is the guest country at FiraTàrrega 2013. In this regard, the Fira will not only showcase the
most outstanding offers of current Mexican artistic creation (see Mexican Showcase, p.10), but
also a delegation of professionals from this country will arrive in the city. Thus, on the afternoon of
Thursday, 5 September Tàrrega will be host to a conference focused on the performing arts in this
Central American country, including the following panels:
 Performing arts as a tool for social cohesion
Mexican theatre today often acts as a critical mirror of great educational value, focusing on the
violence which occupies such a prominent place in this country’s complex and contradictory social
situation. Many cultural projects are emerging as a responsible and committed response to
problems or key social issues such as violence in the family, at school or at work; violence against
women, or other gender related or homophobic violence; and above all the violence produced by
the illegal drugs trade. Three experts will share with participants success stories and examples of
best practices.
 Playwriting for young people
One of the most successful programs being carried out by the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes of
the Mexican government is that related to dramatic writing for young people. The Programa
Nacional de Teatro Escolar (National Programme of Theatre for Schools) is a very important
nursery for talented new creators. This example of good practice, a fully exportable case study, will
be explained by its initiators.
 A snapshot of new Mexican direction
A talk with some of the key names in the generation of Mexican artists that is currently becoming a
regular part of international programming. This is an unusual way of understanding and presenting
Mexico’s theatre of today. Some of them are conventional examples, others less so, but all are of
undoubted quality.

4.3 The Department of Culture’s Lunchtime Meeting
For the seventh year running, the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya will host
within the Fira a Lunchtime Meeting, an essential informal gathering for networking and sales
between Catalan companies, international professionals and associations, with the active
participation of FiraTàrrega. Thanks to this initiative, Catalan artists and companies obtain valuable
contracts and international exposure. This year’s meeting will take place on Friday 6 September.
4.4 Other professional activities
 Meeting in Tàrrega of members of Circostrada, the European platform for the street arts and
circus, dedicated to information, observation and professional exchanges in these fields.
Representing more than 50 members from 17 countries, Circostrada works to develop the
structuring and recognition of these sectors in Europe.
 Meeting at FiraTàrrega of members of Circus Info Finland, a Finnish circus association which
works on the artistic development of circus in Finland and on promoting its cultural and social
status. Its key activities are services, advisory work and disseminating information about circus
productions.

Presentation of student projects from the first promotion of the Master’s Degree in Street Arts
Creation, sponsored by the University of Lleida and FiraTàrrega. On the morning of Sunday 8
September, students will present their projects to different programmers registered at the Fira.
Thus FiraTàrrega acts as a bridge between these students and professionals in street arts.
4.5 Professional spaces
The organisation of FiraTàrrega makes available to professionals from around the world two
specific spaces:
1. La Llotja: An exhibition hall of 1,100 m2 where the professional meetings will be held. With
stands, conference rooms, meeting places and all the services needed by professionals
and the press, this will be the epicentre for professional relations, as it hosts presentations
and lectures during the day.
2. The Professionals Club: A comfortable meeting space, fun and informal, ideal for having
meals and relaxing from an intense day of viewing shows and taking part in meetings.
