THE SHIP OF FOOLS SEDUCES THE TOWN WITH HER ABSURD THEATRE
The demand beats the expectations. It had all the ingredients to become a social phenomena. A ship adrift, without course, charged with dreams, with artists from all over the planet and under the flag of Folly. They chose Tarragona and now, Tarragona chose them! After the continuous success of their shows, the fools have decided to stay longer, to the luck of the town.
