Fira Mediterrània de Manresa 2018

Fira Mediterrània de Manresa 2018

From 4 to 7 October, Fira Mediterrània Manresa will devote its 21st year to rituals. In particular, it will explore the relationship between traditional culture, spirituality and community, and how this relationship can inspire contemporary performing arts. Cultures are the outcome of the legacy of our ancestors, making all cultures unique, with a common language and rituals that identify them. Whether it be an age-old rite or a new form of contemporary behaviour, collective rituals often stand out because of their visual power, specific codes of behaviour and community involvement, making them a powerful source of artistic inspiration.

This year, Fira Mediterrània showcases a large selection of projects based on this idea. These include: the opening show, Erritu by Kukai Dantza on rites of passage; a collective performance by Ada Vilaró on cultural roots and uprooting; a project by the choreographer Eva Yerbabuena, which connects the tradition of Flamenco with Japanese culture; and research by the bailaor, flamenco dancer, Juan Carlos Lérida, who explores spirituality in a mechanic's workshop in Manresa; along with many other projects.
