About

An immersive artistic experience

Experience a unique blend of contemporary dance, circus arts, and traditional craftsmanship with Joan Català’s acclaimed street performance, Pelat. This innovative show invites you to witness a fascinating dialogue between the artist and a simple wooden log, exploring the limits of human strength, balance, and agility.

What to expect

Joan Català, a renowned Spanish visual artist, draws inspiration from his background in traditional crafts to create a performance that feels both raw and deeply human. Using basic materials like wood, iron, and earth, he transforms the public space into a stage for physical exploration.

What makes Pelat truly special is its interactive nature. The performance is not a solo act; it relies on the presence and participation of the audience. As a spectator, you might find yourself becoming a part of the show, helping the artist maintain his balance and contributing to a collective artistic moment right in the heart of the city.

Join the performance

This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with art in an informal, open-air setting. Whether you are a fan of experimental theatre or simply curious about street performance, this show promises an unforgettable and collaborative experience.
