The public had fun with our scenic offer fills of good energy and our performers demonstrated our skill playing with the giant marionettes 13ft. This way the festival said it in his instragram account @fitsibiu: “They are spanish and they know how to dance”.

Later overnights we showed the marionettes which have life with the help of lights. Big Dancers began at Strada Nicolae Bălcescu where hundred of spectators were waiting the parade that crossed the whole street to guide the public up to the square

During the short parade no one was indifferent. Everybody felt the magic atmosphere that the marionettes make with lights of colors, even amazed spectators touched them. When they arrived to Piața Mare thousand of spectators enjoyed with our large format scenes in the middle of square. Several scenes fused the technology with the creativity and the theatricality getting some choreographies with different effects of lighting synchronized with the music and movements. Thousands of persons remained satisfied, provoked many plaudits and more than one ovation.
