The Festival of Theatre and Contemporary Dance of Bilbao, extending until October 25th, focuses on dance-performance, new dramaturgy, and theatre, with multiple premieres.

The Festival of Theatre and Contemporary Dance of Bilbao (BAD Bilbao) is celebrating its 28th edition, which will run until October 25th. The event highlights dance-performance, new dramaturgy, and theatre, offering four premieres in the Basque Country, one state-level premiere, and six absolute premieres.
The festival opened yesterday afternoon at Bilborock with the performance "La voz de alarma," presented by the Andalusian company Los Voluble and Dani Hernández. This audiovisual production merges flamenco and electronic music to reflect on contemporary global issues such as genocide, fake news, and climate change.
Festival venues include La Fundición, Harrobia Eskena, Bilborock, the Sala Kupula of Teatro Campos, and Dantzerti. The full program is available on the BAD Bilbao website.
Tickets are priced at 10 euros and can be purchased on the day of the performance or via the festival's website.
