Fira Tàrrega 2025: Basque. Performing Arts.

This year from 11 to 14 September the Etxepare Basque Institute joins forces once again with Fira de Teatre al Carrer de Tàrrega to bring the Basque theatre and street arts companies Markeliñe, iXa and Deabru Beltzak to the Catalan performing arts fair. 

Markeliñe – Artilusio

Imagine a fantastical-looking machine that feeds on books... And, next to it, a lovable old lady who keeps herself busy in her library. Despite her delicate health, she is unpredictable and extravagant. That machine becomes a wonderful toy that lets her relive the worlds of her books. It’s a street performance for all ages, inviting everyone to play and let their imagination run free.

• 11 September, 6:00 pm. Location: Piscines Municipals
• 12 September, 1:00 pm. Location: Piscines Municipals
• 12 September, 7:00 pm. Location: Piscines Municipals 

iXa – Ollos Cara Adentro

Taking the dream world as a point of departure, this movement piece conceived for ephemeral venues explores the surrealist conception of dreams: the place where the boundaries of logic, reason, consciousness and even conventions of taste are dissolved, opening a door between each person’s inner and outer worlds.

• 13 September, 4:00 pm. Location: Piscines Municipals
• 14 September, 11:00 am. Location: Piscines Municipals

Deabru Beltzak – Su Talka

Collision, friction, percussion. The clash of drums produces sparks that transform into energy. The show captures the encounter between percussion and fire, spiralling through colours, aromas, rhythms, and light. The audience is swept up by the powerful sound and choreography, complemented by a flawlessly synchronised pyrotechnic score.

• 13 September, 12:30 am. Location: Plaça del Carme
• 14 September, 12:30 am. Location: Plaça del Carme
