DESCRIPTION
Companyia de Comedians La Baldufa was founded in Lleida in 1996 with the aim of creating innovative and high-quality performing arts shows, aimed at all audiences, with a special focus on family audiences. With more than twenty shows under our belt, social commitment is one of La Baldufa’s distinguishing features, present in all of our creations and in our day-to-day operations as a company.
Our creative process combines this social awareness with a unique visual aesthetic, which we use to enrich the dramaturgy. We feel comfortable working with clown and gestural theatre, but we are also advocates of artistic fusion, blending different disciplines. Our creation process is long and comprehensive, with an approach that leads us to do residencies and rehearsals in theatres to deepen the creation and build links with the territories that host us.
In 2020, we received the “Premio Nacional de Artes Escénicas para la Infancia y la Juventud”, awarded by the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Government of Spain. We have also performed at numerous theatres and festivals nationwide, including the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Teatralia in Madrid, the Fira de Titelles in Lleida, among many others. We have also traveled across Europe, with performances in countries such as France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Portugal, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark, as well as in places like Mexico, China, Costa Rica, Chile, and Saudi Arabia.
Driven by our social concern, for years we have carried out small social and cultural actions in the neighborhood where our premises are located, an area with high levels of segregation, migration, poverty, and social exclusion. Since 2022, we have been hosting the Enre9 Festival, aiming to empower and revitalize the area and its people. From 2008 to 2023, we also organized the Esbaiola’t Festival in Esterri d’Àneu, a festival that started with the idea of offering quality culture to the children and families of the Valls d’Àneu in the Catalan Pyrenees.
La Baldufa is a member of CIATRE, ASSITEJ, and TTP.
