Many media noted the suc­cess of the spec­ta­cle Zoé at the fes­ti­val. Among these Diario Vasco reported in their arti­cle as follows:

“Emo­tions, tears included, were the invited stars yes­ter­day  at the soci­ety pre­sen­ta­tion of Topic, the Cen­tro Inte­gral del Tìtere of Tolosa, which will be offi­cially open­ing today at seven p.m. with the spec­ta­cle ‘Zoe´of Joan Baixas and the exhi­bi­tion of pup­pets from Mali.

It took more then twenty years of trav­el­ling from one office to the other, look­ing for funds and con­vinced that it would be pos­si­ble the cre­ate such an unique place. There­fore there were many words of thanks to pub­lic and pri­vate insti­tu­tions which together have made it pos­si­ble, and, above all, to the per­sons who, with Miguel Arreche and Idoya Otegui at the fore­front, never gave up their joint effort at the Cen­tro de Ini­cia­ti­vas Tur­is­ti­cas of Tolosa (CIT). But, above all, there was emo­tion in see­ing that the dream had finally become real­ity. And real­ity is a beau­ti­ful build­ing, right in the cen­ter of Tolosa, with 3.600 m2 on five floors. For­merly a prison and now receiv­ing vis­i­tors with an audi­to­rium for 250 peo­ple, fit­ted with the lat­est equip­ment. Pup­pets, the­atre, film and coven­tions will find their place here.“
