García Lorca: The poet’s inner world at Teatre Romea
On the 80th anniversary of the death of the poet, Pep Tosar approaches the inner world of Federico García Lorca in a surprising and formidable journey through the landscapes of Castile and Andalusia. This inspiring and stimulating production brings Lorca's poetry and life to the stage his works have so often filled. It provides a unique insight that will allow you to better understand the poet who sang to life and death with the same intensity, through works such as Mariana Pineda (1928), Blood Wedding (1933), Yerma (1934), and many more.
The montage runs through the most vital events in the poet's life and gives them their own soundtrack. Connections are also established between the biographical fragments and the works that Lorca wrote during those periods. The performance is in Spanish.

Sand, narration and music: a new way to see The Little Prince
This new play for children in English, based on “The Little Prince“, in English is premiered on April 29th.
The peculiarity of the performance consists of the sand animation that will accompany the narration, creating an impressive visual effect and also being a tool so that all the spectators can follow the history, since the performance is in English. The narrator (Adam Cridland), the music (Marc Barrera Marin), the animation (Macarena Reydet) and, of course, the character of the Little Prince (Oceane Cronin) will create a magical atmosphere and take us on a journey with the Little Prince and A. de Sant-Exupéry. The script was written and adapted by Anna Chebotareva and Noelle Cronin.
The function is carried out by Studio 45º. It is a newly formed team of enthusiasts from different countries (Russia, England, Spain, Chile) whose goal is to perform non-traditional format plays for spectators of all ages and to show the classics from another angle, giving them a visual aesthetic focus and at the same time keeping their main ideas.
The group is very enthusiastic about art, theatre and spontaneous ideas. So one of these ideas was to create a children play based on “The Little Prince“.
According to organizers Anna Chebotareva and Anastasia Gayduk, the main idea is to create a kind of craft theatre, where the decorations are minimal and handmade, where the desert has real sand, where everything is true and sincere.

BIG Improv Jam
What is an Improv Jam?
A chance to get together with friends, have some fun, and practice some improv. Jams are all about the games, just playing and having fun – no lessons, no notes, no skill exercises. Come put into practice what you’ve learned in the workshops. In each jam session you will warm up, learn a couple of games, and then PLAY. You will have the opportunity to play games on stage with any improviser you choose. They provide the stage, the lights, and the MC- then, you’re the star. Think of it like an open mic night, but with improvised comedy games, so you don’t even have to prepare anything.
Come play with old friends, make new friends, and have some drinks. Yeah, that’s right, you can drink at this one. Come out and have some fun with BIG.
Admission
Admission is 5 euros and includes a drink.
No pressure to perform or participate, just have fun.
