The Drac of Mataró dancing to the beat of the drums, filmed from Mataró City Hall in 2019.

The Drac of Mataró was presented on 20 April 1991, for Sant Jordi. It is inspired by the winged dragon on Robafaves’ helmet and was built by sculptor Manuel Casserras.

The Drac has its own dance, created by Michael Weiss with choreography by Montserrat Calsapeu, to the beat of the drums. It ends with a series of spins that stop as the final fireworks go off.
