Cadaval conta.... Complexo de Edipo
A mythical tale reimagined in a contemporary key: a tavern keeper from a Galician port —mother of monhilista Cadaval— comments on the Oedipus myth while dismissing the classical version and sharing her roasted-meat recipe. Gastronomy, epic narrative, high culture, gossip, psychoanalysis and surprising stories about the Spanish monarchy come together in a seventy-one-minute monologue that is as frantic as it is tragi-ridiculous.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
The natural region of a Ulla features an original rural carnival, whose record goes back to the mid-19th century.
