The il·luminAR-TE Festival, Festival of Theater of Light and Shadows of Sagunto fulfills 10 years and we can say with great joy that it is a consolidated festival and that it has become a cultural benchmark in our city, but also at national and international level, by creating a Festival just for shadow theatre, unique in our country and one of the few in Europe. With careful programming, always with innovative proposals, without leaving aside the most classic shadow theater, the il·luminAR-TE Festival, it's more than a festival, it is a place of culture and meeting place in the city, where the public has been able to see many shows from different companies, from very different places that have represented their shows and workshops with proposals that continue to search for all the creative possibilities offered by the language of “Light and Shadows”, and that make us grow as an audience and as a festival year after year, and the most important, discovering with the same surprise of the first edition that the theater of lights and shadows is a theatrical language that has no age, an artistic language that allows us to discover different artistic disciplines, talk about many things, and makes us reflect on times like the ones we live in. We can say that we have the most understanding public in shadow theater in our country, which has been educated year after year during these 10 years of the IlluminAR TE Festival.
It is inaugurated 17 of gener with the Asturian company The lizard's smile, who premiere their latest Malaika montage at illuminar TE. This year the Brazilian company Cia Lumiato is coming as a special guest, who will also do the school campaign, we have shadow theater of hands, works with live music, classical and contemporary Chinese shadow theatre.
