International Puppet Theatre Festival

First weekend of May

Description

In the first week of May, Lleida hosts the Puppet Fair, organized by the Puppet Center of Lleida and the City Council.

The Puppet Center is located in the old convent of Santa Teresa, convent of the Discalced Carmelites (1704). Today it is the Julieta Agustí Municipal Theater located in its old baroque church with a capacity for 185 people.

The festival or­ga­ni­zers have also arranged di­ffe­rent cultural ac­tivities such as exhibitions, a photography com­petition, pu­p­pet wor­ks­hops and much mo­re.

All these features make the festival a one-of-a-kind activity in Spain.

Program

Held right before the Summer Festival, this unique event at­tracts pu­p­pet companies and cultural pro­grammers from all over the world.

Companies from all over the world offer a complete pro­gra­mme for all ages, with some performances free of charge and others at low prices. The people of Lleida and visitors will enjoy over 25 shows and 70 per­for­man­ces in di­ffe­rent spaces around the city. 

The Puppet Festival fills the most emblematic parts of Lleida’s main pedestrian tho­roug­hfare (Plaça Paeria, Plaça Sant Francesc, the courtyard of the IEI and Plaça de l’Hort de Santa Teresa) and the city’s theatres with puppet shows for children and adults.
