Umore Azoka is the Leioa street humourists’ fair. Lasting for four days, it brings together people from the performing arts and offers a unique opportunity for companies, distributors, programmers and journalists to experience theatre in its pure state. It is a chance to make contacts, exchange ideas, show work and hire performances – a forum for experiencing theatre twenty-four hours a day.
Focusing on street theatre, Umore Azoka has become established as a fair that features leading Basque, Spanish and foreign companies and many premiere performances year after year, though it also offers up-and-coming artists the possibility of showing their work. With this mixture of veterans and youngsters, every edition of Umore Azoka is a breath of fresh air.
More than 40 companies will present their shows at this year’s event, which includes important premieres. Artists from countries as different as France, Japan, Australia, India, the United States, Argentina and Chile, among others, together with companies from six autonomous communities of Spain, will fill the streets of Leioa with magic and fascination, acrobatic and circus shows, clowns, music and theatre, among other performances.
