Every year since 1981, when it was founded by the theatre group Comediants, the Fira de Teatre, a great spectacle of the scenic arts, has been held on the second week of September. Theatrical programmers, agencies and artists from all over Europe, together with an enthusiatic public, gather for the Fira and participate in an impressive celebration of theatre. Thus, the small city of TÃ rrega, set in the heart of Catalonia, some 100 kilometres from Barcelona, is transformed into a magnificent showroom for the vitality of the contemporary scenic arts.
The central thrust of the Fira is the performances by an average of 100 companies with some 250 separate acts which cover the whole range of theatrical specialities: visual, text, street, and youth's theatre, puppets, comtemporary dance, etc..
