Andorra Signs Deal with Fira Litterarum to Promote Local Performing Arts Abroad

The Andorran Ministry of Culture has signed a collaboration agreement with Fira Litterarum in Móra d'Ebre to boost the international promotion of local performing arts professionals.

The deal, inked by Joan-Marc Joval, the ministry's director of cultural promotion, and Rubén Biarnés, mayor of Móra d'Ebre, covers next year's event and extends to the 2027 edition in one account. It ensures Andorran theatre companies feature in the fair's official programme while encouraging local cultural agents to join professional networking sessions.

For the 2026 edition, the selected production is *Xant de Cabrota* by Arnau Orobitg and Arnau Obiols. The show premiered at Andorra Crea 2025, where Fira Litterarum programmers first spotted it.

Under the terms, the government will cover travel and per diems for the chosen artists. In return, the fair will handle technical requirements, promotion to existing programmers, accommodation, and daily allowances during performances.

This marks the fifth such pact with professional fairs in the Catalan market, following existing agreements with Mercat de Música Viva de Vic, FiM Vila-seca, Fira Tàrrega, and Institució de les Lletres Catalanes.

The ministry views these partnerships as key to its strategy for internationalising and professionalising Andorra's performing and musical arts sectors.

Fira Litterarum, run by Móra d'Ebre town hall since 2007, showcases professional performances rooted in original Catalan or Occitan literary texts, adapted for the stage across various disciplines.
