Don't Wear Your Best Coat... Xarxa are Back in Town!

Yes, it's hide-you-best-clothes time again, Xarxa Teatre are on the loose. 

This time the Vila-Real-based outfit of madcap artists, dancers, singers and fire-raisers decided to disrupt the (usually) peaceful town of Burriana. All started quietly enough with music and dancing and a few strange horses. 

But whenever Xarxa are around, you know something is going to explode sooner or later...

 

So, what do you want to be when you grow up...?

Who needs fancy clothes? Come back soon, Xarxa!

Quiet Night Out in Castellón...

... but not if Xarxa Teatre group are in town.

I'm most used to bumping into Xarxa on one of their Correfoc (fire parade) espectáculos, which are a regular feature of fiesta-time in the towns around their home town (Vila-real). Here are some past meetings...

Correfoc

Correfoc in Vila-real 

Last Friday night was what they call a gran formato espectáculo, which I think translates as 'light the blue touchpaper...'

Xarxa (pronounced Char-cha) provide their audiences with a little bit of street-theatre; some mime; and an experience close to warfare - without putting them in (too much) danger. For a free (yes, free) one-hour show, it's outrageously good value.

Two tips if you ever get wind that Xarxa are coming to a town near you: 

First - don't hesitate, go!

Second, don't wear your best coat.
