The most characteristic Catalonia "stacked man tower" performance will show up in Shanghai.
At the time of World Expo, Shanghai, a cyclone from the Iberian Peninsula will arrive at Century Square at 5 p.m. on May 23rd at Shanghai Nanjing road pedestrian street.
At that time, more than 223 tower builders from Catalonia, Spain, gathered in Shanghai's most bustling commercial pedestrian street, with a passionate performance of "folding tower" for the upcoming opening ceremony of Shanghai World Expo Catalonia week.
The "pagoda pagoda" is the most traditional folk festival in Catalonia, Spain. It originated from the Barth near the city of Tarago, south of Ronnie, in the late eighteenth Century.
In Catalan, the "stacking tower" means castle.
The construction of human towers is generally divided into two stages.
The first stage is to build the base of the human tower, and the stability of the grass-roots level is the first condition for the tower to continue to build up.
In the second stage, the stacking team sends out signals and the band begins to play. Every layer of the builders needs to climb carefully to the designated location and finish the work as soon as possible.
When the tallest child climbed to the top of the tower, raised one hand and erected four fingers representing the four stripes of the Catalonia flag, the tower was officially built.
Finally, the stacking staff began to dismantle the floors one after another in the cheering and shouting of the audience, until the final unloading tower was completed.
In the course of more than 200 years of development, the "stacked man tower" has always been adhering to the motto of "strength, composure, courage and reason".
Strength represents the rugged and strong stacked tower players; calm, well balanced is the basic requirement for every player who supports the upper tower; courage is undoubtedly the most notable feature of the "stacked tower" team, and the child who is the top of the spire is the best endorsement of courage; rationality means that every team of the tower is trained through a long period of time, and only through careful practice and meticulous arrangement can we accomplish the pioneering work of "stacking tower" without error.
The naming of human towers is usually determined according to the number of people in each floor and the total number of layers. Sometimes it is also named according to the form of the tower.
Generally speaking, the number of stacking towers on each floor is 1~5, except for the basic level, while the most common number of towers is 6~10 stories.
In the process of stacking, whether the audience who is cheering on the side, or the builders who are actively involved in it, are enthusiastic and joyful, and through the unity and cooperation, stack up a magnificent tower, showing a charm beyond race, religion, age and sex.
As of 2009, the total number of "stacked tower" teams registered in Spain totaled 56, while the number of registered tower builders was about 8000.
The team invited to Shanghai to participate in the "World Expo Catalonia week" performance was invited to be one of the most senior and outstanding teams in Catalonia. At present, the team has more than 400 members.
It is believed that the 223 enthusiasts from the far away tower will add luster to the "Catalonia week in World Expo, Shanghai" through the energetic performing arts.
