“Migrare” – Cia. Maduixa (Spain)
Republic square
Four women and an empty space. Empty, but mined with obstacles and invisible borders, irrational hatreds, prejudices. They had to leave their country of origin and now the country of arrival rejects them. Space has become non-space. They transit it in search of their place. A place where they can live, stay, put down roots, where they can be, a place they can call “home”. That's all they ask. And they will fight to get it.
This show is your fight. The struggle of four strong, courageous and, above all, resilient women.

“Bye Bye, Confetti” – La Baldufa (Spain)
Gallery Palace Park
Three clowns mourn the death of their leader, Confetti: the absence of the father who guided them is notorious. The void he left seems absolute; the lack of leadership bothers them, oppresses them, mortifies them: what desolation!
Someone is going to have to replace him! Once the duel is over, the race begins to find a new guide.
“Bye bye, Confetti” is an extravagant and authentic clown show, in which half measures have no place. Humor and love, in equal parts. But, above all, surprise and stupefaction, in a space where audience and actors breathe the same emotions.

“Los Viajes de Bowa” – La Gata Japonesa (Spain)
Old Auction
Bowa, nomad, orphan of roots and dreams, one day found a bottle by the sea. Inside she found a message and something led her to a search for its recipient.
The show goes through different emotional states of the character that are supported by a multidisciplinary circus language: magic, which appears accidentally, reinforcing the peculiarity of that space.
Development of an investigation about the bottles: manipulation, balance and demystification of the object, making it a character, scenery or mere support element. Aerial acrobatics, humor and poetry as transversal elements.

“Poi” – Cia. D'es Tro (Spain)
Old Auction
“Poi” is the story of a country man trapped since childhood by the gyroscopic effect of his spinning top. A journey of twists and turns that transports us to the game, one of the most important states of life.
Merging circus arts with the popular top game and the roots of Mediterranean culture is the main objective of this contemporary show.
The spinning top is a magical and ancient game. This toy, on the verge of extinction, is capable of stopping time, as the simple fact of observing the rotation of the element allows us to isolate ourselves from the speed that governs our daily lives.

RUGE (Portugal)
Republic square
RUGE is the most recent project by Rodrigo Guedes de Carvalho with Daniela Onís and Ruben Alves. A meeting of poetry and music at the crossroads between the written, sung and spoken word. RUGE is a show about love and everything around it. It's about passion and revolt. It was born from the passion for words that came together in sentences. Then they grew and became an urgency to be said and heard. There are dramas and outbursts, and laughter barely hidden in the ironies. Unafraid to show emotions, ROAR is a narrative of poems and songs about all of us. It's a show about love and everything around it. It's about passion and revolt.

“Hashtag#Free” by Daniel Cardoso – Quorum Ballet (Portugal)
Republic square
A stage, eight dancers and a choreographer.
Without predefined ideas, without pretensions to follow artistic currents or styles, we forget all inhibitions, deny control and leave everything behind. In the present, the body is filled with feelings, the music, the rhythm, the movement that lives in a space where the simple is routine and the spontaneous is real.
It is intended to explore and interpret timeless values such as human rights, feelings of fraternity, peace and respect for difference that served as stimuli for the construction of this piece.
