Lluèrnia is a festival that brings together fire and light to offer a unique show in Olot. This annual event seeks to highlight the city’s relationship with its volcanoes, through offering proposals that combine light and darkness to bring the city’s volcanic heritage to life. Through these representations, the public can discover how the region has been shaped by nature and how this has influenced the local culture and people.
Each year, during the first fortnight of November of la Garrotxa’s annual programme of events, the Lluèrnia celebration is organised, coinciding with Saint Martin’s Day, to celebrate light, heat and fire. The festival is the brainchild of the Pim Pam Pum Foc! group, which hosted and organised the very first edition. Produced and backed by Olot City Council, Lluèrnia offers a range of interactive spectacles that make the audience the stars of the show.
In addition, Lluèrnia also makes the most of the current tendency to create festive performances based on fire and light, by using the latest technologies to create spectacular projections and illuminations. Notable events upon which the festival models itself include the Fête des Lumieres in Lyon, the Festa de la Llum in Barcelona and the Mapping Festival of Geneva. Don’t miss out on Lluèrnia, a unique experience that combines history and culture with technology and creativity!
