2018
 Does a spider in the bath make you squirm? Does a wasp in your
 hair send you running? If so, then, this year’s Spraoi
 Parade, “BUGS”, might drive you to distraction.
 Spraoi look under the magnifying glass and take
inspiration from swarms, colonies, webs and hives.
Be prepared for our collection of BUGS to hit the
streets. Watch them fly, scurry, jump and crawl as
 Spraoi unleash all manner of creepy crawly creatures.
 Once more, Spraoi bring together a multitude of
 fantastical, gigantic constructions, musicians, dancers
  and performers to the streets and quays of Waterford
  City. Come see this magical spectacle if you dare!
   The Spraoi Parade is now a landmark cultural
  event, one of the largest outdoor arts events in
  Ireland. It’s mesmerising, astonishing, exciting,
  a feast for all the senses. Join us on Sunday
  evening for an unforgettable experience.

Beginning at Johnstown, the parade will progress via John’s
Street, Michael Street, Broad Street, John Roberts Square and
           Barronstrand Street, and finish on the Quay.
                 Traffic diversions and restrictions will occur as the parade
                    moves along the route. See our website for details.
                     There will be absolutely no parking along the parade
                      route. A special cordoned-off viewing area for those
                      with special needs will be on the roundabout beside
                      the G.P.O. There are fixed ambulance points along
                    the route, which our stewards will guide you towards
                                   if required.

                  Theatre
                          Circo Eia: “inTarsi”
                          (Catalonia) Irish Premiere
                         A few smallish platforms, a trampoline, a teeterboard and four men.
                         Four acrobats watch each other, gauge, run into, carry, throw each other and
                        sweep us along in their physical and metaphorical dance: meetings, exploits,
                        mistakes, power games, seductions, manipulations, a mosaic made up of
                       fragments of life, a glimpse into the kaleidoscope of human relationships.
                      This is a stunning 60 minute show by one of Europe’s leading street theatre
                      companies. Not to be missed!
                     Performers: Armando Rabanera Muro, Fabio Nicolini, Fabrizio Giannini,
                    Eduardo Lucas Muñoz de Lucas
                   Performing: Fri & Sat: The Mall 9.30pm

Compania Hotel Iocandi: “Esquerdes”
(The Balearic Islands) Irish Premiere
   What is in the empty space between two pieces that do not fit?
   A man and a woman meet in a place. He climbs. She runs.
   Just a simple movement… and the game can start.
   Esquerdes is a show that combines static trapeze, acrobatic ladder and
   live music through three moving bodies, in a game between the desire
   and the escape.
   Idea and creation: Hotel Iocandi
   Interpreters: Tomeu Amer, Griselda Juncà and Joana Gomila
   Performing: Sat & Sun: The Mall

Circ Panic: “MiraT”
                          (Catalonia) Irish Premiere
                         A giant set of scales stands in the centre of the stage. MiraT plays with an
                         exchange of perspectives, both introspective and open. Observing oneself,
                        confronted with one’s own sense of loneliness, making the decision to embark
                        on a journey of self discovery, and transcribing this onto the stage.
                       MiraT is an invitation to observe oneself without complacency or arrogance,
                      but with humour and self-derision, in constant pursuit of stability and balance;
                      swinging, spinning and dancing.
                      Concept, Production and Interpretation: Jordi Panareda / Circ Pànic
                  Performing: Sat & Sun: The Mall

The Primitives: “Three of a Kind”
(Belgium/Germany) Irish Premiere
The appearance of 3 middle aged men in suits and ties evokes many images
and emotions. They are clearly lost, struggling to work out where they are
going and what they are supposed to do. Out of habit and for safety’s sake,
they move in chorus, almost like a herd of animals, helping each other as
they stumble and fall, grooming and caring for each other.
With time, the obsessive drive to carry on gradually gives way to a sense of
exhaustion and desperation. Fractures appear in the cohesion of the group,
creating instability and doubt. Unable to carry on, the trio splits. The need
to break free, to escape the claustrophobia of the group, leads to scenes of
antagonism, confrontation, and rebellion. From conformity and cooperation
to individualism and chaos. Will they find a way out?
Performed by: Craig Weston, Gordon Wilson and Markus Siebert
Performing: Fri: Hanover St., Sat & Sun: The Mall

Ali & Henrik: “Cikada
                       (Ireland & UK)
                        Two acrobats create a world between the harmonious and the absurd. In this
                       world, lines are blurred between human and nature. An acrobatic and poetic
                       reflection of the balance between the organic, the structured and the human.
                      Acrobatic duo Ali Stanger and Henrik Gard have gone through countless hours
                      of attempts, failures and achievements to create a mutual acrobatic language of
                     finesse and honesty. A fun, thoughtful and humorous display of rich imagery and
                     dynamic riveting movement.
                     Performed by: Ali Stanger and Henrik Gard
                    Performing: Fri, Sat & Sun: Gladstone St

CirQ: “Le Grand Café”
(Belgium) Irish Premiere
The smallest bar in the world (and the nicest). Usually sitting at a cafe on your own is
rather depressing. But if there is only one bar stool, then it feels like a privilege.
The smallest bar in the world is just 1 square meter, but is just as an authentic Flemish
café should be, with a counter, bird’s peak, a little pot and … you can still smoke inside!
The largest number of customers that Stefaan, the barman, ever served at the same time
was a bunch of 9 crazy Spaniards who wrenched themselves in. Who can do better?
Performers : Bert De Jonghe and Stefaan De Winter
Performing: Sat & Sun: The Mall

                      Avanti Display: “Full Circle”
                      (UK) Irish Premiere
                     Are they incompetent council workers or is it a piece of performance art? What began
                     as a game is now starting to look a bit precarious. Where have they gone? Now what
                     do we do? What starts as a slow and intriguing performance, builds gently through to
                    suspense, hilarity and unforeseeable consequences. Just how many buckets do they
                    need? Now it’s starting to look a bit precarious. That’s a lot of buckets!
                    Performers: Paschale Straiton, Peter Finegan, Bill Palmer
                    Performing: Sat & Sun, Cathedral Sq.

                    even Zankič – in places where you would never expect them! The Streetwalker
                   Gallery uses the power of imagination to transform everyday elements of the
 city into art masterpieces. Cracked walls, traffic signs and zebra crossings are not what they seem.

The Flying Dutchmen: “The Sky’s the Limit”
(Holland/Canada) Irish Premiere
A duo that produce a street show, slick, funny and highly skilled, and
one that appeals to all ages. Their astonishing stunts, great audience
interaction, interchangeable skills, all served up in their own inimitable
style, make them a huge audience favourite, and they have brought this
show around the world.
Always looking for more improvisation and comedy, every show is still
an adventure and a lot of fun for both artists.

Ambaradan: “Che fa, concilia?”
                      (Italy) Irish Premiere
                     Are you unsure where you are? Are you stuck in traffic? Can’t you cross the road?
                     You’re in luck, because he’s going to rescue you: the virtuous of the whistle, the
                     ace of the signal paddle, the knight of the roundabout. The only cop in the world
                     who can create a traffic jam in the desert and give you directions if you are lost in
                    a glass of water. He can withdraw your license and return it only after the “practice
                    test” or the “balloon test”. An impeccable agent chasing offenders by unicycle and
                   directing traffic on a balance ball. A cop so loyal to his duty as to upset any other
                   existing rule of the Civil Code or physics!
                   Performer: Lorenzo Baronchelli
                  Performing: Walkabout Fri, Sat and Sun

Circle of Two: “Dodo’s Dream”                                 (UK)
Inspired by the myth of Pygmalion and the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Circle of Two tell
the heartbreaking, impossible love story of an eccentric inventor and the mechanical
doll he has created in resemblance of his deceased wife. Dodo’s Dream is a visual and
universal show for all ages. A fairy tale that triggers the laughter and wonder of the
little ones and the emotions of the grown ups!
Performers: Celia Mendizabal and Ralph Taylor
Performing: Fri and Sat: Constitution Square

                      After their barn-storming performance at the 2017 festival, Traces

The 2Men (UK)
“The Tourists”
Good old salt of the Earth boys and lovable East End cockney
geezers. Truth is they don’t get out of London much…in fact, this is
their first time! Having won a competition in their local newspaper
to attend the Spraoi Festival, they are completely besides themselves
with excitement. Enjoy, as they marvel at all the new and exciting
things they find on their first trip away. They are forever on the
lookout for a good photo to take and show the lads back home.

“Snap Happy Paparazzi”
These short sighted, celebrity crazed, photographers are always
on the lookout for a good photo opportunity of someone rich and
famous going about their daily lives. The only trouble is that they get
a bit confused about who’s who! Will you get mistaken for an A list
celebrity and be snapped by the Snap Happy Paparazzi?
Please note that no actual photos will be taken.

                          he’s just a bit different?

                      in the world. Cooking, playing the organ and drumming at the same time..
                     it’s a piece of cake for this amazing artist! This physical show spins frantically
                     between theatre, a circus act and a music concert but its final delivery is all
                    about the baking of one solitary pancake. Flying ingredients, pounding music
                    and a really sharp cooking knife all add the driving force for the 27 and a half
                    minutes it takes for this ode to reach its climax…the perfect pancake!

                              Woven Circus Collective
                             Show: “Resonances”
                            ‘Play me a song that will bubble my blood and breathe life into hollows
                           both long and forgot’ . Resonances is made with rebellion in its heart, self-
                          reflection in its mind and music in its soul. Three artists from Belfast have
                        created this social commentary dealing with some of the damaging aspects
of our culture. The show is a mixture of circus techniques including acrobatics, slack rope,
and cyr wheel with theatre, poetry, dance and live traditional Irish music.
Performers: Michelle Thoburn, Ruairi Cumiskey and Shane Gilliland.

                             Turas Theatre Collective
                            Show: “Remanants”
                           A visually spectacular and enthralling tale of three characters whose lives
                          have been disrupted, and who find themselves alone and homeless. The
                         story interweaves the characters’ pasts with their hope for the future in a
                        beautifully choreographed performance. A moving and powerful meditation on
displacement, the show is a response to the performers’ personal experiences of working in refugee camps
with the organization Clowns Without Borders.
Turas Theatre Collective are based in the west of Ireland and create high
quality, innovative and original street theatre. (Advisory viewing age 10+)
Performers: Debbie Wright, Helen Gregg and Jonathan Gunning.

Microguagua
Seven musicians from different countries, cultures and musical styles founded
in the alleys of the historic centre of Barcelona, give life to a fresh, vital band,
full of positive energy, that’s hard to classify. “Street power reggae” is their own
description.

                                                  New York Brass Band
                                                  Back by popular demand! North Yorkshire’s only contemporary New Orleans
                                                  inspired Brass Band, this band pack a powerful punch of relentless drums,
                                                  rumbling tuba and wailing horns. A powerhouse 7-piece, with a line-up of
                                                  percussion, sax, trumpets, trombones and sousaphone.

Scotch
Now a firm Spraoi favourite, this Dutch Band produce high-energy shows
with upbeat melodies on trumpet-fiddle alternated with polyphonic
singing on a driving base of drums, bass and guitar. It’s a combination of
their own material with traditional folk songs.

                                            The Mulligans
                                            Traditional multi-instrumental trio from Waterford City, playing a diverse and
                                            eclectic mix of music. Tunes from the Emerald Isle and Brittany intertwine to create
                                            ‘Cool Celtic’. The ensemble takes you on a musical world tour from the Deise to
                                            Brazil and stopping off at Turkey too!

                                       Shane Barry and the Night Post
                                       Since 2007 Shane Barry has been carefully crafting pop songs. He has

                                       musicians that give this album its own eclectic world of influences.

Skinny Elvis
This three piece from Dublin are sure to have you dancing in the aisles and swinging
from the ceiling. An Irish rockabilly band, delving into swamp boogie, delta punk and
voodoo. Twang with a bang!

                             Chimpanbee
                             The energy and buzz of this Waterford based band has influences of all the great rock
                             acts over the years, with three part harmonies, bright honkytonk style piano, great
                             bass riffs and brilliant vocals. Just released their debut album “Can’t Stop or Rewind”.

Quangodelic
A 12 to 20 piece funk band, this band has become an ever growing collective
of talent who make the dirtiest funk known to man. A full brass section, mad-
scientist keys, great vocals and a tight rhythm section guarantee long, sweaty,
high-octane sets.

                                   Mongrel State
                                   Mongrel by name, mongrel by nature. Rock, Western and a host of other styles
                                   are put through the wringer – with honkytonk pianos & fourpart harmonies
                                   sitting side-by-side with New Orleans grooves, electric guitars and even the odd
                                   inflection of a synth.

 Ashley Sheehan and the Fighting Spiders
 Making a return to Spraoi for the first time in four years, this band’s music has
 been described as ‘Indie Electro pop’ with some orchestral leanings, with a live
                         show full of colour and vigour. An eagerly anticipated
                         second album is also on the cards.

                                   Bring Your Own Brass
                                    These sweaty brassophiles are taking over and you better watch out. Expect
                                    noughties mashups, spine-tingling hip-hop licks, some tasty latin and tropical
                                    flavours, and a generous portion of original bass for your face.
