We finish another Esbaiola't Festival and we do it with infinite gratitude to everyone for having enjoyed 16 editions of this wonderful cultural adventure.

Traveling continuously, as we theater people do, has wonderful things (we will leave for another day the things that are not so wonderful). One of the privileges of traveling so much is to be able to meet a diversity of projects, many people with love for the theater, with different ways of managing everything that goes into staging a show. It...

Since last February, La Baldufa, together with the Fundació Champagnat, the UE Gardeny and the City Council of Lleida, we have launched La Descomunal. La Descomunal is the first Urban Community of the city of Lleida. The Urban Communalities are an initiative of the social economy program of the Department of Enterprise and Labor of the Generalitat and aim to...

This October we packed our bags and took our show Arrivederci, Confetti to the 16th "Festival de Tradiciones de Vida y Muerte" of Mexico. Between October 30th and November 3rd we performed 9 shows of the show, within the framework of this multidisciplinary festival of performing arts that takes place at Xcaret Park in Mexico (Playa de Carmen), a park...

The company will be in charge of the direction and dramaturgy, while on stage we will be able to see the duo Laiaiona, two circus artists who will assume the interpretative part. In the 26 years of the company, La Baldufa has been, fundamentally, on stage. From the first production, "Para reír?... 3 Cerditos en la playa!", to the last...

We close the 15th edition of the Esbaiola't Festival still tired and with emotions running high, but with very good feelings. It has been four intense days of emotions, atmosphere, laughter, landscape, fun, nature... and above all, of performing arts and culture in an exceptional setting. In this fifteenth edition of the festival we wanted, more than ever, to make...

It is a great pleasure to have returned to the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya to represent our Bye bye, Confetti. Moreover, we have done it in a different space that we have loved: the Gardens of the TNC! We have been there for the last two weeks, doing daily school performances during the week and family performances on Saturdays and...

Last Friday we presented our latest show -ImPERFECT- at Mostra Igualada and it was perfect. No, better yet: Imperfect! It has been the culmination of a very cool journey, but it has also taken us to the limit, putting us in a zone of total and absolute risk. We can only thank everyone who has accompanied us, especially Sol Picó....

Under the direction of Sol Picó we are facing for the first time the challenge of dancing on stage. And what a challenge! With this new creation we have completely left our comfort zone and we have lived a very different creative process to what we are used to so far. After the creative residencies at the Centre Culturel l’Asphodèle...

Ticket in hand, you walk through the door, sit down, the lights go out. In the stalls, a string of wide-open eyes, old and young, point to the stage, curious, passionate and excited. There is a silence that precedes the storm of emotions? The show begins! That's the way it starts. Because the show, or at least its cooking, had...

When we choose shows, are we conditioned by the cataloguing of "children's theater" or "youth theatre?". We have always thought that these classifications are not helpful, but rather restrictive, and that perhaps it would be more appropriate to do as they do in the cinema and speak of "recommended ages". There are a thousand examples: Xirriquiteula's Laika, Zum-Zum's shows like Polzet...

Following the order of the Commission of Culture of the Consell zona 09 "Mariola, Turó de Gardeny and entorns",  we are launching a performing arts festival in the neighborhood that we hope will come soon!
