From the street to the stage. A documentary theatre play that introduces the audience to the voice, emotion and experiences of the protagonists: the prostitutes.

In Prostitución, the audience experiences desire, need, secrecy, violence, tenderness, pain, pleasure. Paying for sex. Charging for sex. Putting yourself in the shoes of prostitutes, taking the risk and understanding. A show starring Carmen Machi, Nathalie Poza and Carolina Yuste that gives a voice to real testimonies.

A reflection on the short distance between life and death and, nevertheless, a lesson of hope.

El nedador del mar secret is the story of the difficult birth of a child told by his father. The night run to the hospital in a cold winter, what could have been and was not. William Kotzwinkle's novel about the loss of a child destroys any kind of idealisation of childbirth and speaks, with poetic language and restrained emotion, of the acceptance of harsh reality. 

Maika Makovski’s explosive energy in the intimacy of the Sala Petita.

An unsettling life behind the façade of a perfect family.

A family gathers together for dinner in honor of Juli, the son, who has completed his piano studies. They have prepared a celebration. But Juli doesn't show up. At this disappearance, each family member deals with the situation differently: the mother will seek comfort and help, the father will go out in search of the places he frequented and the sister will lock herself at home surrounded by melodramas and benzodiazepines. The paths of each one will enter a dreamy, comic and surprising labyrinth through which we will discover the ghosts of a family that seemed to be perfect.

A play by Josep Maria Benet i Jornet with a phantasmagorical and dreamlike atmosphere in which desire is the protagonist.

Desig is the haunting story of a married couple whose routine life is interrupted. Anonymous calls and a car with flickering lights on the side of a road. The mysterious connection with two strangers. Memories of a night that had almost been erased.

A reflection on insanity, paranoia and mistreatment and abuse perpetrated in the name of science.

An epic and exciting journey through Africa. The crisis of the refugees told through music and humour.

A Man of Good Hope brings us closer to a reality that Europe has turned its back on for many years: Africa, immigrants and refugees. A musical theatre show based on real events: the journey of Asad, an eight-year-old orphan boy, to reach safety. A story by the prestigious South African company Isango Ensemble.

Ionesco strips down power and its mechanisms through humour, exaggeration and paradox.

Ionesco’s Macbett turns Shakespeare’s Macbeth into a comic tale of ambition, corruption, cowardice and excess, creating a tragic farce that takes human madness to its wildest extremes. The confirmation of the undeniable destructive impulses of a humanity that is moved by envy, jealousy and the conviction that only those who hold power can become free.

Els homes i els dies is the posthumous autobiography of David Vilaseca, where we find a powerful voice and provocative and stimulating literature.

22 years encapsulated in a diary. David Vilaseca captured his day-to-day life on paper from 1987, when he was 23 years old and a young student on an American campus, until 2009, when he was 45 and shortly before he died. Now, Xavier Albertí directs the theatrical adaptation of this revealing novel that turns the self, fears, sex and other personal experiences into high-flying literature.

“Often in life we learn the real reasons we do things over the fullness of time.”

What can lead you to wish for the death of someone you love?

A daughter has to take care of her father who, after suffering a stroke, undergoes a process of physical and mental deterioration that makes him totally dependent. The lack of personal resources and the precariousness of public authorities will make the situation enter into a kind of free fall spiral.

What is the point of keeping alive the body of someone who has lost all the faculties that make us human?

A linguistically surprising production based on the myth of Europa and its current boiling point.

It is peculiar, and also revealing, that the myth of abduction and rape is what gives Europe its name. Today, those on the opposite shore make the same journey across the Mediterranean, abducted by the idea of Europe, and, along the way, suffer rape and extortion. Many die at sea and those who do make it are welcomed by denial of asylum and “refugee camps”. At times like this and, after so many -isms, how can we believe in the European Union without resorting to EU-phemisms?
