Festival Z closes its fifth edition with positive reviews and consolidates its position as a professional meeting place.

“The exhibition of young artists’ work took place in various venues in Girona and Salt from July 10 to 13.”
Girona, July 15, 2025.-Festival Z came to a close on Sunday after four days dedicated to the performing arts and young creators. The organizers have given a very positive assessment of the fifteen artistic proposals and the connections created between the professional sector and the companies featured in the program. Of the 7 paid events this year, 3 sold out, and the festival achieved an average attendance rate of 87%.
With the aim of serving as a springboard for companies under 30 years of age and providing a meeting place for professionals seeking to connect with the performing arts, Festival Z offered a diverse and unique four-day edition dedicated to the living arts. The program included a total of fifteen performances ranging from clowning, text-based theater, and street theater to dance, music, and installations, with pieces for all audiences. In the words of the organizers: “We are very happy to have been able to celebrate five years of the festival. From this edition, we would like to highlight the quality, diversity, and risk-taking of the performances programmed, as well as the collaborations and opportunities that have arisen between the companies and professionals in the sector within the framework of the festival.”
Attendance has once again been remarkable this year, with an average occupancy rate of 87%, higher than in previous editions, such as 2024, with 79%. As for the seven paid events, three have sold out: the two opening events, which are the show Glòria a la patrona princesa de Girona (Glory to the Patron Saint Princess of Girona) at the Municipal Theater of Girona and the concert by the group Svetlana at the La Mercè Cultural Center; and the premiere of the play Kenòpsia by the Las Calatrava theater company at Parc Central in Girona on Sunday, July 13.
Festival Z has had to cancel the performances scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, July 12, due to the alert issued by Civil Protection for heavy rain. The performances in question are Tribut a les rates by Las Espectadoras, Field Recordings from Oblivion by the Uku’Pacha company, and I Felt a Funeral, in my Brain by the Lanormal company and Sira Aymerich i Besalú.
“The fifth edition had the highest number of industry professionals in the history of the festival.”
A bridge to the professional sector
In addition to the full program, once again this year, Festival Z offered several professional activities aimed at companies, programmers, and other performing arts professionals with the aim of fostering connections and collaboration among them. This fifth edition of the festival welcomed around 120 professionals from the sector from across Catalonia and other parts of Spain, who participated in initiatives such as Danzaoke Z and Let’s Match – Appetizer, among others. This is the highest number in the festival’s history, followed by 2023, which welcomed more than 90 professionals.
Festival Z was created in 2021 by the Joan Bosch Private Foundation, owner of the University School of Arts ERAM – UdG, in line with the foundation’s objectives and track record, which focus on research, qualification, and professionalization in the fields of visual and performing arts. During these four editions, the Festival has welcomed and promoted several emerging companies and artists who, as a result of their participation in the festival, have been able to strengthen their professional structures, generate various alliances, find other financial and logistical support, and plan a tour of the region. Some of the most notable examples are Col·lectiu Desasosiego with the show Un segundo bajo la arena; Cia. Atzucac with Noves espiritualitats per a persones atees; Maria Jover and Gerard Franch with Berenguera; Malsai Produccions with Calla, Judit, calla, and Elena Romero with Costura, among many others.

Five companies that have passed through the Festival Z and are doing very well
Five companies that have passed through the Festival Z and are doing very well
18.06.25
As you probably already know, Festival Z does not only want to be a space for the exhibition of shows by companies and artists under thirty years old, but also a springboard that allows projects that pass through our house to take a leap and have a long life. Today we present five companies and artists who have gone through some of the editions of Festival Z and who are doing great!
MARIONA JAUME AND MAYA TRIAY
These two Mallorcan dancers are already part of the Festival Z family. In 2023, they presented a project in the creation phase. This first show, they explain, was «a great opportunity to meet other artists and cultural agents», which helped them to move the proposal forward to the point of being able to present the finished show, a year later, at the festival, under the title S’albufera. «It was very exciting to return to the festival with the finished work, after having presented the germ the previous year», they say.
What they like most about Festival Z? The atmosphere, the good vibes and the activities, which make «people get to know each other in a genuine and fun way». A spirit that, they say, they try to take with them when they go to other venues or festivals.
As a result of its passage through the Z, S’albufera has been programmed in various festivals and fairs, and soon we will be able to see it in FiraTàrrega, Dans’illot, Menorca en Dansa, FIET or the Festival Perifèria Cultural, among others. In addition, Mariona and Maya have also premiered El verd també era, and they are already embarking on a new creation, NUS, which will be premiered in 2026. We can’t wait to see it!
CIA. JORDI FONT
Lately, Jordi Font and Nina Solà Carbonell, with their different hats (either Cia. Jordi Font or the company Mambo Project), do not stop. A couple of years ago they created a new space for creation and artistic residencies in Ribes de Freser, La Cremallera, and this year they have still had time to be part of the program of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, with the show Iaia, by Mambo Project.
Although, at Festival Z, they came in 2023, with a performance of Ells i jo, o aquella sensació que els arbres et miren. They explain that doing so was «a great showcase» that allowed them to make the play known and tour several venues in Catalonia and Spain: they have been in Inca, Banyoles, Viladecans, Utebo, Santa Perpètua, Madrid, the FETEN Festival… It’s easy to say!
In addition, Jordi and Nina visit the festival whenever they can as an audience, even if they are not part of the programme. «We met wonderful people with whom we have been meeting again and with whom we share views and synergies», some of them, they say, have already passed through their space, La Cremallera, to do residencies!
In September they will premiere Jovent, with Mambo Project, «a loudspeaker for testimonies of young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen who reflect on the future».
COL·LECTIU DESASOSIEGO
Few companies have been so many times in Festival Z as Col·lectiu Desasosiego, formed by Camille Latron, Àlex Solsona, Carla Coll and Pau Caselles. And few, like them, can say that they were part of the 0 edition of the Festival, when we were still in beta phase, in 2020. Then, they presented a first sample of Un segundo bajo la arena, the show that they would bring back to the festival a year later, in an almost finished format, and that later would make them win the Moritz Award of FiraTàrrega, the Novaveu Critics Award, the Audience Award of Alcarràs, and thousands of applauses in more than 100 performances all over the state. What is called a success with audiences!
In 2023 they returned to Festival Z to present a new project, then in pre-production, Breu visita a la gola del llop, which they premiered this year at the El Maldà theater in Barcelona, and which will now begin touring. In addition, they are also touring a street installation, Com qui sent ploure.
Desasosiego try to come to the festival every year, whether they are programmed or not, as they always find attractive proposals and it helps them to «make connections with facilities and other companies», which they consider essential. «The company would not be what it is without their participation in Festival Z», they say, and surely Festival Z would not be the same without them!
LA DONA CALBA
A young, self-described troupe that makes adult puppetry about a grandmother who remembers her past through objects? Although La Dona Calba admit that it is difficult, it is possible! They have proved it with the show Caterina, which could be seen last year at Festival Z.
Despite the difficulties of distributing a show of these characteristics, the Calbes collected a few gigs from their performance in Girona. And they left their mark: «from time to time, there is still someone who tells us: ”I saw you at the Z and you made me fall in love with you”», they say. In addition, through the festival, they traveled to Pamplona, to the Latxa Meetings, as representatives of the Festival. Better represented, impossible!
Beyond the gigs, the festival helped them to meet companies and artists in the same situation as them, as well as programmers and professionals from whom they have received support. Some of them, they recognize, have turned out to be «referents», and they invite them to the shows and performances they do.
While they work to consolidate the structure of the company (something very important, and little is said about it), they continue to move Caterina, which will tour Argentina for a month, and they are preparing their second piece, Entresòl 1a, about the housing problem. Follow them closely!
ELAINE GRAYLING
Anyone who knows Elaine knows that the energy of closeness and familiarity of her shows extends to all aspects of her life and persona. That’s why she feels «at home» in the Festival Z networking environment. She retains a human bond with each of the people she has met, and believes that it is precisely «this tissue of complicity and mutual support» that is the most valuable thing about the festival.
In 2023 we had her at the festival with Man mano, il tempo scorre, a solo that invites us to reflect on family memory by cooking (and eating) gnocchi according to the traditional Neapolitan recipe of Elaine’s family. After its passage through the festival, the show has filled the bellies and hearts of audiences at Fira Mediterrània, El Maldà, the Límbic Festival, the Escena Poblenou Festival or the Casa Encendida in Madrid, and has received a nomination for the Revelation Award at the Premis de la Crítica 2024.
Looking forward to new projects, Elaine is in no hurry, and wants to continue investigating following the premise of the title of her show, Man mano, which literally means «little by little».
In addition to her personal project, Elaine is part of L’Última Merda Col·lectiu, which agitates and activates cultural spaces of all kinds, such as Festival Z, where they have participated in three editions, in the last of which they were in charge of the opening show. Being part of L’Ultima Merda has made her return on many occasions to the festival, and this makes her feel that she is still part of this ever-growing family. «The link with the Z is still alive, even if it’s from another place», she says, and we love it!

This Friday, May 23rd, we celebrated the presentation party of the Z 2025 Festival at the Salvador Espriu Square in Girona, and we did it as we like the most: in the street, among friends, with music, good atmosphere and a great desire to share what we have been preparing!
During the party, we discovered all the companies that will be part of this year’s edition of the festival, which will be held from 10 to 13 July in various venues in Girona and Salt. We did it with the help of two very special presenters: the two little rats that will accompany us this year.
The evening also featured a performance by the New Generation Choir and a final session by DJ Tarada, who turned the square into a real dance floor.
Thanks to all of you who came, sang, danced, toasted and celebrated the beginning of a new edition of Festival Z.
And if you couldn’t be there, do not suffer: we leave you a compilation of the best images of the party.
The complete programme is now available, with all the shows, schedules and spaces. Check it out, make your itinerary and reserve your dates: from July 10 to 13.
We are waiting for you!

Jersei de llana
LAMBE-LAMBE | VISUAL THEATRE | OBJECTS THEATRE
Sunday 13 July. Jersei de llana is a lambe lambe (for one person) that will perform 5-minute shows from 12:30 to 13:30 and from 15:00 to 17:00.
Price: Free admission
This piece is part of the closing day of the fifth edition of the Festival Z. Come and spend the day in the gardens of the Rosaleda, where you can enjoy an aperitif in the sun, a popular musical lunch and the pieces Zooller by Sa Vorera des Tassó and Jersei de llana by Cia. Malaespina. All in an idyllic setting!
Jersei de llana is about a girl with no name and a family that doesn’t quite understand her.
Through visual metaphors and sound dialogues, she presents us with a tragic, harsh and raw story, which reflects the life of all the others affected, victims of the lack of resources and general knowledge about mental illness.
Jersei de llana is a lambe lambe (a proposal for a single spectator) of object theatre, visual and poetic, but raw and real.

Tribut a les rates presents a universe of the absurd where Dolores and Angústia live, two evicted grandmothers who live inside two rubbish bins. One day, the protagonists decide to celebrate their last birthday in a fast food restaurant.
The piece aims to be a tribute to repulsion, and is born from the actresses’ need to connect with their future body and understand their ageing, in a context where women’s bodies are on everyone’s mouth.

MESTRANÇA
HYBRID SCENE
‘Mestrança’: a nickname used to refer to a food additive that adulterates the product.
Mestrança is born from the universe of the pig slaughter, an act closely linked to the land of Mallorca.
The proposal explores the loss of identity based on the being that is born to be consumed and that becomes the fuel of a machine. In this installation, the body and space play a fundamental role, constantly alternating and modifying each other.

No hiding, no standing still, no running away. Nothing can end the sensation of cold sweat, hot face and the desire to be eaten by the earth.
Verecúndia is a clown piece where three women wiggle from their ridicule, expose themselves and relate to each other through their most primal shames and offer us their most vulnerable and generous side.

Kenòpsia
Las Calatrava
Kenòpsia
THEATRE | SITE-SPECIFIC | STREET THEATRE | INSTALLATION
Kenopsia, from the Greek kenosis (emptiness) + opsia (to see).
Kenòpsia proposes a street performance, designed to be performed in the street in groups of two spectators, with the help of a map.
There is no longer any town or village where the plague of the hard surface square has not arrived. Architectural follies, urban planning frauds and political machinations have taken spaces away from citizens and handed them over to speculation, decadence or hostility.
Kenòpsia is the party of the neighbourhoods against the party of the big top. The recovery (if only for a few moments) of all those spaces that we were promised, but that have never become ours.
Original idea and creation: Las Calatrava (Nil Martín, Laura Riera, Cristina Sanz-Gadea and Júlia Valdivielso)

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, combines a pine trunk 2 metres high and 60 cm in diameter, a melodica, a wooden puppet and the body of a woman to create a dialogue between life and death.
This trunk, with 115 years of history, becomes the protagonist of an exploration in which the delicacy of bringing a puppet to life contrasts with the strength needed to move such an imposing element.
The project questions the idea of the ‘weaker sex’ and vindicates the resistance of female bodies in the face of physical labour.

Saturday 12 July, 11:30 am
Price: 8 €
This ticket includes two activities as a pack. Solo vine a ver el jardín by Col·lectiu Carns Soltes and Let’s Match! Z Appetizer.
Solo vine a ver el jardín is a visual-sound installation that presents an apparently uninhabited garden where we can perceive the trace of an ancient life, the ghostly presence of a life that inhabits it, or the presage of a life that has yet to arrive.
By means of an immersive and interactive device, the installation explores how we relate to memory and the footprint we cause in the world when we are traversed by desire, pain, comfort and discomfort, and presents the need and the will to build new utopias, generating ephemeral and spectral spaces that unite past, present and future.
This project was created in collaboration with the music group Ani in the Hall.
