The story

Festival Internacional de Pallasses in Andorra la Vella

FIPA is Andorra la Vella's international clown and comedy festival, founded in 2001 by Pepa Plana at Tortell Poltrona's proposal and revived by the Comú as an annual spring event since 2018, typically held in early May and centred on promoting women performers within clown and circus arts through street and stage performances across the capital.

Andorra la Vella's Festival Internacional de Pallasses (FIPA) gives clown and comedy performers, predominantly women, several days of street and stage performances each spring, typically in early May.

What is special

The place changes

FIPA's defining feature is its founding mission: showcasing women specifically within clown and circus performance, a discipline that has historically been dominated by male performers, through productions that combine physical comedy with feminist or socially critical undertones

02

The mystery stays covered

Visitors should also note that Pepa Plana and Tortell Poltrona separately operate Circ Cric, a circus venue in Sant Esteve de Palautordera, Catalonia, that runs its own distinct clown programming

03

The city starts moving

despite the overlapping founders, that Spanish venue is an independent operation from Andorra la Vella's own municipally organised festival
