In a huge atmosphere, the street cycle of FIT de Cazorla continues

Cazorla continues its tradition of presenting its best face during the most dramatic weekend on its cultural calendar. The weather was perfect this year for thousands of tourists who flocked to these mountains hotels to experience the exceptional performing arts at the International Theater Festival. Every stage becomes a crowded circle in whose inner the most diverse proposals are created; it doesn't matter whether they deal with contemporary dance, circus, or theater.

All this was possible during Friday's afternoon-night. The Plaza de Andalucia's simple but beautiful work by Irene de Paz. It is called "La Madeja" and it shows the tightrope walking technique that the Almerian uses in every show. Particularly in this show, her movements on the threads are as precise as the scenery, which is made up of elements woven in intense red fiber.

The evocative misty sea was captured later at the Parque Auditorium in the Circ Panic show titled 'MiraT. The 'T' in this instance was a wooden structure which served as both a ship's mast, and as a balance. It is the center of the universe for a character whose imagination revolves around this powerful scenic element. It has a space for the protagonist, an imaginary character, and several improvised actresses selected from the public.

The Ruins of Santa Maria, far from being there, took all the attention at the International Theater Festival. There was a waiting list for the UpArte acrobats with their proposal, 'Entre Cajas. The young protagonists were fresh and energetic and used wooden boxes in various sizes as well as their own bodies to perform risky acrobatics or imaginative compositions.

The road to avant-garde arts began at Teatro de la Merced from that historic location. Esteban, Xtobal, and EX Performers took the stage. They are not content to settle in the slumber of contemporary or classical art. These irreverentist cazorlenos don't want to be shackled by tradition, but they continue to seek new horizons and new opportunities for innovation. "Two men talking on life" is just another step forward, but it has the unique distinction that in this instance, it is also inward towards his most intimate memories, emotions, and thoughts. Esteban and Xtobal look at the future through the form, while Esteban looks back on the past. This paradox was not lost on the 100 people who filled the theatre stage, sharing it with the 'performers.
