Summary/Abstract: Article is an attempt to approximate the anthropological interpretation of Pamplona’s bull run (encierro)in Spain. Article is based on two main aspects related to the traditions of bullfi ghts: Carmenby Georges Bizet and Basque topic. Based on the analysis of the texts and my own fi eld researchI would like to refl ect on whether encierros can be regarded as a theatrical spectacle. For this purposeI will try to indicate the proper theater criteria and ascertain whether they occur in relation toencierros and corrida de toros as well.
