Successfull welcoming for Basque companies at the TAC Valladolid

The International Festival of Street Arts and Theatre of Valladolid, TAC, has celebrated its sixteenth edition between 27 and 31 May. The Basque representation at the festival has achieved great success and the amount of participants at the festival has increased: in total, 54 companies and artists from 12 different countries have taken part at the festival of Valladolid.

With a diverse programming which gathers national and international proposals that combine theater and circus tradition with more avant-garde languages and styles, four Basque companies have taken part at the festival: two street theater ones - Markeliñe and Trapu Zaharra- and two contemporary dance ones -Lasala and Victoria P. Miranda.

Markeliñe company presented the show "Andante" (28 and 29 May); Trapu Zaharra traveled to the festival with “La Conga”(May 29,30,31); Lasala brought "Hooked" (29 and 30 May) and Victoria P. Miranda represented "And that´s why I am here today" (28 and 29 May).

The streets of Valladolid have been the stage for 170 performances ranging from street theater to circus, through the clown, mime, Mask Theater, dance and music and performative proposals, visual shows and sensorial experiences. Viewers have been active members for the development of proposals, grouped into three sections: the Official Section, which hosted the premiere of seven shows; North Station Section, which presented the latest works of five local companies; and Off section, which will have the circus as a protagonist.
