A dragon of iron and myth on the streets of Sagunto

The Sagunt a Escena festival presents Quimera, a creation by La Fam Teatre that brings an articulated dragon measuring 6 metres tall, 12 metres long, and weighing 1,500 kg—built from iron, leather, and wood—to the Alameda del Port de Sagunto. The performance, scheduled for 19 August 2026 at 21:00, is part of the festival’s Off Romà section and explores the theme of human dominance over machines through a blend of physical theatre, large-scale puppetry, and pyrotechnics.
