ImproLocura in the Semana Grande de Bilbao 2025

Street Performers Come Alive ! Agro the Clown’s Unique Solo Performance in Improlocura. Agro hugging a spectator with a crowd in the background. Luca Della Gatta. Luca Della Gatta

For nine days, the festival will take over the streets of Bilbao and thousands of people will gather to enjoy the good atmosphere and the many cultural activities included in Bilbao’s festival programme.

It was 1978 when several Bilbao associations decided to organise a competition of ideas for the creation of a Big Week in Bilbao, since until then, the summers in the city had only hosted a few scattered events that had little relevance among the citizens.

Thus was born the Aste Nagusia of Bilbao, which after more than 40 years has become one of the most popular and visited festivals in the Basque Country. After the mythical chupinazo and the reading of the proclamation, the peculiar Marijaia, the symbol of the festivities, will appear on the balcony of the Arriaga Theatre to start the celebrations.

The musical offer is one of the attractions of the Aste Nagusia, this year there will be more than 100 free performances in 8 venues. The main stages of Abandoibarra and Parque Europa.

On the last day of the festival, Marijaia will once again take centre stage. The peculiar character will be burnt in the Arriaga Theatre square in front of hundreds of spectators, marking the end of Bilbao’s Semana Grande.

Do you want to know more about ImproLocura?

ImproLocura is a mime performance full of humor and surprises, turning everyday life into a fun and unexpected experience. It combines mime, clowning, and sound effects, with music as its central element. Thanks to a device on Agro the Clown’s wrist, music and sounds are triggered in real-time, adapting to each improvised situation. This ingenious tool turns music into an additional character, interacting and reacting instantly.

ImproLocura is an unpredictable and hilarious street show that breaks the rhythm of the city (which is becoming more boring and ordinary by the day). An unexpected break that will take you out of your daily routine thanks to a provocative, amusing and extravagant style. You’ll enjoy an improvised show combining mime, clowning techniques and sound effects.
