In a significant show of support for the arts, the Government of the Province of Toledo has announced its backing for the XV edition of Noctívagos, a popular theatre festival held annually in Oropesa, Toledo. This backing was formalized via an agreement signed between Concepción Cedillo, the provincial president, and Ricardo Rodríguez, the president of the Cultural and Recreational Association of Friends of the Theatre ‘El Navarro’.
Support for the International Theatre Festival
The XV edition of Noctívagos, scheduled to take place from June 28 to June 30, 2024, is once again receiving support from the provincial government. This international street theatre festival is widely recognized for its unique blend of heritage and performing arts, a combination that attracts participants from across the country to the town of Oropesa, located in the Campana de Oropesa region.
The provincial government has commended the festival for its role in providing access to quality, stable culture to numerous citizens. The festival is coordinated by the Cultural and Recreational Association of Friends of the Theatre ‘El Navarro’, in collaboration with the Province of Toledo and other institutions, and has consistently received strong public support.
Contributions Towards a Cultural Celebration
The Province of Toledo’s contribution to the festival plays a crucial role in ensuring that the event can continue to take place in locations that are as emblematic as the castle, the High Walk, the Old Square, the Navarro Square, the Oropesa square, and the culture house.
This year’s edition of Noctívagos will feature a total of nine companies, handpicked from over 200 applicants. The festival will also include the children-aimed Minívagos, which will take place at the culture house.
