WELCOME TO ONE AND ALL

Umore Azoka - Leioa Festival of Comedy Street Theatre is a focal point for enthusiasts of the performing arts. Over the course of four days, Leioa provides a unique opportunity for companies, distributors, programmers and the media to coexist with theatre in its purest form. It is a setting for making contacts, sharing ideas, displaying work and contracting performances – a forum for experiencing theatre around the clock.

Pivoting on street theatre, the Umore Azoka has consolidated its status as a festival through the presence, from one year to the next, of leading companies from the Basque Country, Spain and abroad, featuring the premiers of numerous acts and, at the same time, providing up-and-coming performers with a chance to show off their work. A blend of youth and experience that helps to keep the Umore Azoka fresh.

Over these past eight years, a plethora of companies have passed through Leioa, with their performances being rewarded by the applause of a huge audience. The festival has grown steadily over the years, thereby enabling it to uphold the quality of its programme.

Once again this year, and faithfully keeping to its appointment for the first weekend in June, the Umore Azoka will fill the streets of Leioa with laughter and good humour. You are all invited!
