For the second time, the Government of Catalonia, through the Catalan Institute for Cultural Companies (ICEC), is sending a Catalan delegation to the De Gevleugelde Stad Ieper international promotion festival, now in its 21st year. Eight representatives of Catalan street theatre and performing arts will be attending the festival, each one with their own booth.

This digital booklet contains information on the Catalan shows and companies that will be at De Gevleugelde Stad Ieper 2024. Should you need more information on a particular group or artist, please do not hesitate to contact them directly! We hope you get the chance to meet

all of them and generate some interesting interactions.

ICEC representatives will also be at De Gevleugelde Stad Ieper, should you wish to speak to us, or you can contact any of our offices – in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, London and Paris – for further assistance.

Under the Catalan Arts brand, we strengthen the presence of Catalan companies and creative works at international fairs and key professional events, such as De Gevleugelde Stad Ieper, in our aim to connect, mentor and support creative companies in their international journey.

Cia. eLe

STRING PUPPET | MARIONNETTE | ELDER

Show: La Extraordinaria

What at first sight seems to be a run-of-the-mill old people’s home turns out to be a selfmanaged space inhabited by very diverse people who have found a place where they can look after themselves without anyone telling them what to do. Where being old doesn’t mean accepting you’re past it.

Cia. Holoqué

PINBALL | VIRTUAL | INSTALLATION | MIXED REALITY

Show: SteamPinball

The SteamPinball is a participatory installation composed of five handmade pinballs, all different, that combine craft with Mixed Reality. An immersive experience while playing in the real environment. Put the helmet on and discover what’s hidden in the virtual world.

Cia. Nom Provisional CIRCUS WORDLESS COMEDY TOGETHER

Show: Electric Feel

All living bodies have electricity. What happens if they connect with each other? They get entangled in wires, climb up a pole and draw circles on a bicycle. Their mutual understanding will lead them to discover new worlds amidst the melody that plays when two people are connected.

Cia. PakiPaya

CIRCUS

Show: Toca Toc

PakiPaya was founded when Noemí met Adrià and built their reason for living on their love. They create multidisciplinary performances specialised in the aerial cradle and advocate shows for all audiences. Constantly looking for new challenges, in which human relationships nourish their work.

Derecha Izquierda

CHINESE-POLE-INNOVATION | INSTABILITY | REALITY | ABSURD

Show: UOP, Última Oportunidad

Two circus bodies modelled by resilience. Two characters driven by desperation decide that if this show does not enthuse the audience, they will give it all up. All they know is that this is the last opportunity. Last Chance is a piece of contemporary circus based on real life.

Humancía

CONTEMPORARY DANCE | REFLECTION | CRITICISM | YOUNG TALENT

Show: Ego

Ego is about how we live as individuals in society. About the need we have to stand out and feel important and be the main characters of the story, without being aware of what is around us.

Sound de Secà

PERCUSSION MUSIC | STREET THEATRE | MOVEMENT

Show: Possê

Possê means community. A show that occupies the public space through the fusion of percussion, dance, theatre and voice. A cry of hope to reclaim the street as a space for coexistence. A game of interaction to share a space and a moment. A catharsis of energy and positivism from beginning to end.

Grants for the international mobility of Catalan artists

The Institut Ramon Llull (IRL), a public body founded with the purpose of promoting Catalan cultural creativity abroad, offers grants for the mobility of artists in the fields of music and the performing arts. The purpose of these grants is to cover the travel, accommodation and equipment transportation expenses of music or performing arts shows and tours outside of Catalonia and contribute to the presence of Catalan cultural creativity abroad. Artists can only apply for this international mobility grant on their own behalf.

The Programme for the Internationalisation of Spanish Culture (PICE) is offered by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) with the aim of enhancing Spanish culture’s presence abroad, with AC/E acting as facilitator. The programme gives priority to the proposals that are least consolidated in the creative sector, most in need of boosting their presence abroad, and characterised by reflecting more closely on the contemporaneity, creativity and plurality of Spanish culture today. The line of support called PICE Mobility helps foreign cultural organisations to include Spanish artists and professionals in their projects and activities by providing them with financial incentives. Only foreign institutions can propose candidates.
