THE CENTRAL SHOW OF THE AQUELARRE DE CERVERA 2022
The central show of this year's edition of Aquelarre, directed by Albert Parra, director of Alea Teatre-, is inspired by Ragnarök, the cataclysmic battle between the forces of chaos and order in Norse mythology, which ends the world and kills most of the gods and their adversaries, giving rise to the birth of a new world.
The Aquelarre 2022 will take place on Friday 26 from August to Sunday 28, Saturday being the great night of the party with the magical ritual of the ferocious invocation of the Male Goat in the old town of Cervera. Will be, as always, an infernal show that will transform the capital of La Segarra into a world of fire and legend.

THE INVOCATION OF THE MALE BASTARD
Evil beasts come out of hell and settle in·in the city to give life to the Aquelarre de Cervera. The magic and originality of the party is centered on the Male Goat, protagonist of a dramaturgy that is designed anew every year, following the University's ignition protocol, the ball of the cock, the invocation of the Goat, the Mascle Cabró runoff and the Foqueral.
The introduction starts with the Cervera University Ignition that opens the party at 23.00 h with a show with fire and pyrotechnics on the facade of the historic building. Then, a large parade begins that reaches Cal Racó and is characterized by a parade of the Diables de Cervera Carranquers, and by a bunch of invited devils, and a descent with the participating beer organizations.

The first act starts at 00.15 h and takes place in this central space and is Cervera Carranquers' Devils' Cock Dance. The second act is the Invocation and Apparition of the Male Goat and the Dance of Devils. I, to finish, the third act is Escorreguda del Mascle Cabró, the culmination of the party and the most awaited moment for everyone. It is a catharsis col·lesson enhanced with pyrotechnics to the rhythm of musicians and actors from Cervera. Well into the morning, the end of the crazy celebration comes with the Foqueral, a wheelbarrow where the level of fire increases steadily and gradually, all concluding with a spectacular joint lighting of all the devils and the big clubs: in Lucifer and the Devil.
