The director of Topic has also attended the largest annual theatrical play on beach sand: the staging of the founding of the town San Vicente. This is the 33rd edition and, this time, they have performed with giant puppets. "When I heard about the play and how this year the stars were to be the puppets I did not hesitate to go and also I was surprised to have the chance to participate. It was a curious thing that is widely accepted, as there were more than 2,000 people following it in live"
