Alcoletge has closed the seventh edition of the Mil Maneres theater and circus festival for all audiences after gathering around 3,000 people since Friday in the sports hall and in different streets and squares of the municipality of Segrià. The closing was held in the amphitheater of Tossal dels Morts with the company Street Fools and their circus and animation show Banaba Flup.
The contest has been developed this year under the motto "A Thousand Ways to connect" and has combined family programming, itinerant proposals and school performances. The activity also extended through different spaces of the town, with a commitment to bring theater, circus and culture to diverse audiences.
Family programming and itinerant proposals
The Sunday day included the clown Pere Hosta with the show Woof. Lleida companies also passed through the festival, such as Festuc Teatre, which brought the puppets of Jo and Tarzan, while La Baldufa presented its version of Pinocchio.
In the streets, Xip Xap offered itinerant animation with Rum rum trasto karts. The program was completed with the participation of companies such as Insectotròpics and the Lleida-based Campi Qui Pugui, in addition to the inclusive theater of La Màxima and a wooden games installation by Tombs Creatius.
Premieres and school sessions
The festival has also reserved space for premieres. On Saturday, Bufairons, from the Centre de Titelles de Lleida, was presented, while on Friday, Pels Núvols, from Sac Espectacles, was staged.
One of the sections with most follow-up was the one directed at educational centers. The school sessions gathered more than a thousand Primary students, consolidating one of the lines of work of the event in its pedagogical and proximity aspect.
