LLEIDA PUPPET FAIR AWARD 2004

Audience Award for Best Children's Show for “Operació AVI”

The Fira de Titelles de Lleida is a major cultural event dedicated to the world of puppet theatre, held annually during the first week of May in the city of Lleida. Organized by the Centre de Titelles de Lleida and the City Council, the fair transforms the city into a large stage with performances in streets, squares, and theatres.
The 36th edition, held from May 1 to 4, 2025, featured 28 companies (10 from Catalonia, 8 from the rest of Spain, and 10 international) that presented 30 performances in 20 different locations across the city. Four world premieres, eight premieres in Spain, and six in Catalonia were presented, with an expected audience of more than 45,000 spectators and the participation of over 300 professionals from the sector.
In addition to the performances, the fair includes parallel activities such as the Fira d'Artesans de Titelles, workshops, exhibitions, and food areas. It also offers technical sessions and professional meetings, such as "speed meeting" sessions between artists and international programmers.
With more than three decades of history, the Fira de Titelles de Lleida has become a key platform for the promotion and dissemination of puppet theatre, both nationally and internationally.
