2025 Edition
Temporada Alta 2025: Consolidated quality
We move forward into our third decade of existence with an edition that presents a program of consolidated quality, demonstrating the excellent form of this already veteran reference festival. This year, we present a total of 92 shows, of which 16 are world premieres, 16 international productions from 13 countries, more than 140 opening performances, and 62,326 tickets on sale. In this edition, the festival will run from September 18 to December 12, hosting artists such as Angélica Liddell, Thomas Ostermeier, Miet Warlop, Malpelo, Christopher Marthaler, La Veronal, Patti Smith, Josep Maria Miró, Romina Paula, Lluís Homar, Mos Maiorum, Josep Maria Pou, Agrupación Señor Serrano, Nora Navas, La Moukhles & Sentís, Bàrbara Mestanza, Marina Otero, Lorena Nogal, or Roser López Espinosa, among others.
The Torneig de Dramatúrgia reaches its fifteenth edition, while we also bring back Llibràlegs, a series of readings in the Libraries, featuring texts by Cristina Clemente, Carla Torres, Lara Díez, and Clàudia Cedó.
The festival’s recurring venues this year are: Banyoles, Figueres, Torroella de Montgrí, Sant Gregori, Bescanó, and Palafrugell. The festival strongly supports young talent (creators under 35) with shows such as Tobetta (Francesc Cuéllar), Burpees (Miquel Mas Fiol), Cavallet de mar (Pau Coya), Nua (Ann Perelló), Man, mano, il tempo scorre (Elaine Grayling), Nauta (Cor de Teatre), Tallar-me el peu amb una motoserra (Bàrbara Mestanza), and ABECEDARI (La Moukhles & Sentís). Finally, the festival’s two audiovisual projects, La Caverna and the podcast Això no és un càsting, will have a third season with new guests, new interviews, and new reflections.

2025 poster, by cabosanroque
Following the tradition of collaborating with renowned artists to design the festival’s poster, this year at Temporada Alta we are working with cabosanroque, a multidisciplinary collective that returns to collaborate with the festival with a proposal inspired by Sous les Violons, La Plage!, their own installation presented during the 2023 edition of Temporada Alta.
In this proposal, Haydn’s Quartet No. 66 was transformed into a participatory experience where the audience could destroy a series of violins by throwing stones at them in order to generate a new sonic piece.
From this creative destruction — a collective catharsis — the 2025 poster was born as a visual metaphor, created from the pieces of those violins broken by the festival’s spectators.
Who are cabosanroque?
cabosanroque, formed by Laia Torrents and Roger Aixut, have participated in Temporada Alta on several occasions with projects such as El castor que plorava (TA24), Sous les Violons, La Plage! (TA23), Flors i viatges (TA22), Audioguia per a supermercats en temps de pandèmia (TA20), Dimonis (TA19), or No em va fer Joan Brossa (TA16), consolidating a trajectory where the boundaries between performing arts, music, and installation dissolve.
The 2025 poster is a declaration of intent inherent to their work: art as experimentation and sensory provocation.
In doing so, cabosanroque joins a long list of distinguished individuals who have collaborated with the festival in creating the poster, such as Isabel Banal, Antoni Tàpies, Cristina de Middel, Carles Santos, Carmen Calvo, Joan Fontcuberta, Eulàlia Valldosera, Narcís Comadira, Eugènia Balcells, Frederic Amat, Carme Sanglas, Enric Pladevall, or Ferran Adrià, among others.
