The 19th edition of the Esbaiola't Festival has officially commenced in Esterri d'Àneu, offering 31 theatre and performing arts productions over four days in the Pyrenees.

The event champions quality, committed, and non-childish cultural entertainment. This year's data highlights 38% international programming with six companies, three premieres in Catalonia or Spain, seven companies from the Lleida region, and eight community and social inclusion initiatives.
The opening featured comedy and large-scale scenic poetry. Audiences enjoyed the Spanish premiere of Brusco by the Italian company Circolabile, and Zloty by the Catalan company Pau Palaus, which transported spectators to an intimate, tender, and deeply emotional circus universe.
Organizers are pleased that all tickets for Thursday's shows, considered a day for local audiences, were sold out. Indeed, public response has been very positive, with 5,300 tickets sold on the first day, representing 80% of the total. However, Esbaiola't encourages everyone to visit, as many tickets are still available, and free performances are also on offer.
The Esbaiola't Festival will continue its program on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, featuring a wide variety of activities that can be consulted via the provided link to the festival's program.
