O Lago dos Cisnes
Friecia is an absolute monarchy, ruled by our beloved Queen Frixida.
Frixida is a very modern queen but... she respects traditions! Some of them like the death penalty or eating reno á feira, the national food par excellence.
Queen Frixida is worried because the most important tradition is not being fulfilled: her son Siegfried, the crown prince, will be 41 years old and he is still not married!
The queen is preparing a court ball with 263.5 candidates. Everything is ready and measured, with great precision, but... the night before, Siegfried goes hunting, and in the forest, near the lake, a most unexpected meeting is going to take place...
Anything can happen in this comic approach of Tangatutanga Teatro to the classical ballet Swan Lake.

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.
