The Rocamora Teatre Company was
invited by the UNIMA Asia-Pacific Commission to participate in this year's
edition of the International Puppet Art Week Festival, which took place in
Nanchong (China), during the first week of June 2017.
This was the second edition of a
festival that, started in 2014, mainly aims to show the work of Asian
formations, but also of companies from the other four continents.
In particular, there were 23 from
China and 23 from the rest of the world, coming from Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Indonesia,
Iran, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain (Catalonia), Sri
Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine and Vietnam.
The performances are distributed
throughout the city, from the big People’s square, with its two stages, to huge
auditoriums and all kinds of municipal theatres, universities, etc. The access is
free and the spaces are filled to overflowing from hours before.
The festival has an International
Jury that is distributed throughout the city to see every one of the programmed
shows.
With the help of the Institut Ramon Llull, Rocamora Teatre presented his new
work "Identitats" in three performances: one in the "small"
stage of the People's Square and the other two in the concert hall of Nanchong
Normal University Conservatory of Music.
The reception of the public was
very good, with constant applause throughout the performances and with generous
signs of gratitude when finished.
On the last day, in a Closing
Ceremony as spectacular as it had been the Aperture, the Jury's verdict was
read, giving the "Award for Outstanding Dramas" to Rocamora Teatre Company
for "Identitats".
Award that we share with all our artistic team.
