We are back from Gijón with great news! We are thrilled to announce that ‘VIVA!’, by the French-Spanish company La Loquace Cie, has been awarded Best Documentary Theatre Show at the recent edition of FETEN, held in Gijón (Spain) from February 21st to 27th, 2026.
This recognition highlights the narrative power of a production that, through object theatre, reconstructs the memory of a femicide in a small Castilian village during the dictatorship. Lisa Peyron and Daniel Olmos succeed in transforming a family taboo into a necessary collective reflection, balancing the story’s harshness with a “saving” distance.
After receiving three Drac d’Or awards at the Fira de Titelles de Lleida (2024) and being featured in El País’ Top 10 as one of the best plays of 2025, this award confirms VIVA! as one of the standout gems in our catalogue.
FETEN is the leading showcase for performing arts for children and young people in Spain, setting industry trends each year. It is an unmissable event that brings together the country’s most influential programmers and professionals.
