Festival Teatro Gorrilla, Teis edition

Festival Teatro Gorrilla is preparing a very special edition in the neighborhood of Teis, transforming its streets, squares, and corners into a large stage open to the public. For three days of free celebration, dance, theater, circus, and performance will take over public spaces, bringing culture closer to residents and visitors alike.The festival promotes a festive, diverse, and inclusive atmosphere, with a program designed for all ages: creative workshops for children and teenagers, a market of crafts and local products, and a lineup of outdoor performances that will encourage participation and collective enjoyment.With this edition in Teis, the festival aims to bring the performing arts into the daily life of the neighborhood, fostering coexistence, connection, and the cultural vitality of Vigo from the streets.

The festival aspires to be a catalyst for meaningful artistic experiences within Vigo’s cultural fabric, responding to the need for spaces that go beyond mere exhibition and that foster a vital connection between creators and the community. The festival is born from the conviction that performing arts have the power to transform and enrich people’s lives, especially when brought into new contexts and to new audiences.

The three day festival is designed to offer a diverse and complete experience, aimed at different audiences and culminating in a celebration open to the community. The daily schedule is as follows:Friday: Training and Professional Encounter Day.This day will be dedicated to workshops in educational centers (schools and high schools) during the morning, providing students with a first contact with the performing arts through a circus workshop for children.
