El Tambor de la Libertad
El Tambor de la Libertad is set in Toledo in the year 1812. Napoleon's troops are advancing, but the people will not be broken. The show lasts 25 minutes and takes place in the setting of a Spanish city with buildings up to 22 metres high.
The story
In the heart of Toledo a drum sounds that defies armies and stirs souls. On the road walks Antonio, with dust on his shoulders. Beside him is Valle, with an indomitable spirit. Every beat of the drum is a spark, a call to the sons of fire. The show's question: what remains of us if we forget our ancestors?
The experience
The story of honour and sacrifice comes to life on an enormous stage. You see soldiers, riders and villagers with flags marching through the streets of the city, while the battle erupts among the flames. The rhythm of the drum keeps up the tension throughout the show. According to the park, the show moves around 3,000 people every time.
