Robafaves and the Geganta dancing the Ball de Grossos, filmed from Mataró City Hall in 2019.

The Ball de Grossos premiered at Les Santes in 1982. It is inspired by a medieval court dance: it begins with a courtship between the two figures and continues with turns and small, precise steps, with the flabiol as the leading instrument.

At the Dormida, Robafaves and the Geganta dance La Masurca, from the repertoire of flabiol player Quirze Perich, with choreography by Montserrat Calsapeu.
