Bunyola is an important part of the history of contemporary theatre in the Canary Islands, whether as the Bunyola Theatre Company or La Lluna Teatre, the group that revolutionised, or at least shook up, the local dramatic scene in 1980. Antoni Maria Thomàs, along with Francesc Aguiló, Gabriel Gamundí, and the Buñuelos Miquel Morro and Rafel Ramis were responsible for allowing us to enjoy such emblematic pieces as Jacques and his master, The Mandrake and Waiting for Godot, among others. A circumstance that made the theater, now dedicated to Rafel Ramis, somewhat orphaned, almost until recently, when the group of members of the Bunyola Theater were the protagonists of the opening speech of the Sant Mateu festivities. Some began to fan the embers of which there were few sparks left, although it seems that it has been the spark of tradition that has rekindled in a beautiful way.

Surrounded by threads, needles and fabrics, Carme Vidal (Palma, 1996) has made herhobbyA passion and a career opportunity. While working in a fabric store, she launched her own wedding dress brand with a unique approach: the dresses will be modular—come in pieces and can be combined in various ways—and can be rented; there's no need to buy them. While working on this project, a new business opportunity arose: making dresses for the patron saint of Pollença, the Battle of the Moors and Christians, starring Joan Mas. This new project presents something new that hadn't existed before: feminizing Moorish dresses.
