Activities in the Creative District’s theaters

We bring you a selection of activities and shows that will be taking place in the theatres of the Creative District in the coming days.

Sala Beckett: 

• Bartleby
  By Herman Melville. Adaptation and direction by Llàtzer Garcia

Llàtzer Garcia returns to the Beckett with an adaptation of the classic Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville. The emblematic story of a lawyer and his enigmatic scrivener. Bartleby’s “I would prefer not to” has become a paradigm of voluntary renunciation of action—always expressed with the utmost politeness.

From 20/02/25 to 09/03/25

• L’aranya
  By Àngel Guimerà. Dramaturgy and direction by Jordi Prat i Coll.

Last days to see, at the Sala Gran, one of Guimerà’s yet-to-be-discovered works. L’aranya portrays the illusions and disappointments, loves and betrayals of a couple unable to conceive a child. A tense and unsettling play where a grocery store becomes the stage for society’s hidden desires and pressures.

At the Sala Gran fins el 09/03/25

After its performances at the TNC, L’aranya will go on tour across Catalonia. El TNC surt de gira is a joint initiative by the TNC and the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya to bring theatre to new audiences and contribute to cultural decentralization.

Casino L’Aliança del Poblenou

• Madama Butterfly
  By Giacomo Puccini.

Madama Butterfly is one of the most acclaimed and frequently performed operas worldwide. Based on the theatrical drama by David Belasco, its wonderful orchestration, exotic and intensely passionate melodies have made it one of the most tragic yet deeply moving stories of all time.

In this staged version in two acts, the unique features of the Teatre Casino L’Aliança del Poblenou are used to integrate the symphony orchestra into the performance, creating a unique technical production.
