NEWS FROM LA BALDUFA

Last week we were once again at FETEN, the European Performing Arts Fair for Children. We return from this 32nd edition with the satisfaction of having been able to show the work we have done with ImPERFECT and with the enormous joy of having been recognized with the Award for Best Large Format Show. FETEN 2023 took place between February...

We are very excited to announce that our new creation, the circus show that will be directed by La Baldufa as a collective creation with the circus artists Ona Vives and Laia Gómez (Duo Laiaiona), has been selected by Firatàrrega for its program Suport a la Creació (Support for Creation). In this way FiraTàrrega will co-produce the show and accompany...

The company's latest show, ImPERFECT, has been selected by the European Performing Arts Fair for Children, FETEN. Directed by Solo Picó, ImPERFECT will take place in Gijón on Thursday, March 2, at 11.45 am. It is an honor that a reference fair for children's theater such as FETEN counts on us again. We also celebrate that the fair makes a...

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...

Next week we will participate in the GREC Festival with our show ImPERFECT! The performances will be on 6 and 7 July 2022, at 18.30h, at the Sant Andreu Teatre - SAT. We are very happy to be able to present ImPERFECT at the Grec Festival -which is also co-producer of the show-, and that they are betting on "unconventional", investigative...

From May 26th to 29th the first edition of the Enre9 Festival was held in Lleida's Zone 09 (La Mariola, Bloques Joan Carles y Turó de Gardeny) and it was a great success! Four days of programming in the streets, where it has been possible to see more than fifty proposals. Zone 09 includes some of the most stigmatized places...

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...

We are very excited to have been able to be back at FETEN and also to return with two awards under our arms! In this last edition, our show La Fábula de la Ardilla has been awarded twice with the FETEN Award for Best Production and Best Set Design In this same fair, we already received in 2019 the Award...

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! The company feels theater as a commitment to society. We firmly believe that culture is fundamental for the people growth; it fosters values, feeds the...

The Teatre Nacional de Catalunya (TNC) has kicked off the new 2021-2022 season, the first with Carmen Portacelli as Artistic Director. The program includes 38 productions and we are very excited that one of them is our show Bye bye, Confetti! The performances will take place on Saturdays April 30 and May 7, at 5 p.m., and on Sundays May...

We have just arrived from the Cultura Nova Festival in Heerlen (The Netherlands), and we can only thank the fantastic reception of the festival and the Dutch public. Bye bye Confetti was one of the shows chosen to be part of the 30th edition of the Festival, which took place from August 27th to September 5th in the town of Heerlen....

The 14th edition of the Esbaiola't festival, in Esterri d'Àneu, presents a program of high artistic quality and for all tastes. The 4 days of the festival bring together 22 companies with 23 proposals of shows, workshops, installations and experiences. This edition is still marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, so all the shows will be in enclosed spaces to avoid...

With all the enthusiasm, we announce that Sol Picó, one of the most recognized and heterodox artists of contemporary dance, will direct the next creation of La Baldufa. A show for family audiences in which the three members of La Baldufa, Enric Blasi, Emiliano Pardo and Carles Pijuan, will experiment with dance, a discipline hitherto unknown by the company. La...
