We bring to you the Theatre Programming of the Poblenou Creative District for the last months of the year.
Sala Beckett
By La Segona Millor company, based on Lettres by Bernard-Marie Koltès
Bernard-Marie Koltès wrote many letters throughout his life, and his brother François posthumously compiled them in the book Lettres. Using this document as a starting point, El meu germà, Bernard is a poetic and multidisciplinary tribute to the figure of this great 20th-century playwright, who died prematurely from AIDS in 1989, just as he was becoming a major reference in European dramaturgy.
Until 12/10/25
By Berta Prieto
Thanks to the cinematic work of Ximena White —a modern, feminist screenwriter and director— we learn the story of Paula Miró, a cyberactivist who in 2024 began her personal transition toward an unstoppable process of self-dumbing-down. To stop suffering: the dumber, the better.
Until 19/10/25
By Mos Maiorum and Joan Yago
A stage proposal based on the life of Joan Garcia Oliver, a key figure in the Catalan libertarian movement and Spanish politics in the early 20th century. A biography where the character is not the protagonist but rather the guiding thread of a collective story. An immersive theatrical experience that connects past struggles with present concerns.
From 18/10 to 02/11/25
By Núria Vizcarro, translated by Cristina Cordero
The Independent Living Office advises and supports people with functional diversity in their development as autonomous and independent agents, in both their personal and social, educational and professional lives.
From 05/11 to 30/11/25
De Paco Zarzoso.
By Paco Zarzoso
It’s winter, and He and She, a middle-aged couple, are excited to spend a few days at their mountain retreat. But when they arrive, they discover that their best friends, whom they had invited to enjoy the house a few days earlier, have left it without firewood, with empty gas canisters, not a single bottle of wine, no pinecones to start a fire, and garbage that hasn’t been taken out. To top it off, the bedroom door won’t open. At this point, this poetic and hilarious tragicomedy takes a surprising turn.
From 12/11 to 30/11/25
A show-celebration of Franco’s death by Eduard Olesti with texts by Mercè Rodoreda, Joan Sales, and Blai Bonet
If there’s one thing dictators are good at, it’s dying. Ours took too long, but he managed —no doctor can fix a mortal illness. Fracaso Renal Agudo: nothing more poetic than the death of a tyrant. This show moves between the solemnity deserved by the spirits we will invoke and the carnivalesque humor a festivity like this demands. It will be a show that ends in a party, where we’ll once again pull the cava from the fridge. We’ll celebrate that on November 20, 2025, it will be exactly 50 years since Francisco Franco’s potato stopped beating.
On 19/11/25
By Col·lectiu Las Huecas
In a game of mirrors and identity-splitting, Las Huecas explore their own friendship through an autofiction exercise that breaks open theatrical conventions, metatheatre codes and, ultimately, delirium. This is a comic piece about mistakes, impossibilities, and the persistence of friendly practice —as well as a love song to theatre as a form of escape, release, or redemption.
From 17/12/25 to 04/01/26
Teatre Nacional de Catalunya
By La Veronal, concept and artistic direction by Marcos Morau
A fantasy of images, gestures and bodies inspired by Rodoreda’s most enigmatic novel. Marcos Morau and La Veronal —an internationally acclaimed contemporary dance company— dive into Rodoreda’s dark imagination to create an allegory of creative freedom, social commitment and art as salvation and refuge.
From 24/09/25 to 09/10/25 – Sala Gran
Written and directed by Raimon Molins
What kind of woman defies the laws of gravity and society?
La filla de l’aire travels from present to past through the story of dance star Roseta Mauri —from her early days in Reus and Barcelona to becoming principal dancer of the Paris Opera and muse to painters like Degas or Manet, composer Léo Delibes, and French culture minister Antonin Proust. A life of passion, effort, sacrifice and great achievements in a hostile world, where the extraordinary is always possible.
From 02/10/25 to 19/10/25 – Sala Tallers
Written by Lluïsa Cunillé, directed by Lurdes Barba
Lost and confused characters try to survive amid corruption and impunity. In a city somewhere in Eastern Europe, a woman’s flight is canceled due to heavy fog. While waiting for the next flight, she rents a room in the apartment of a couple very eager to find out who this mysterious traveler spending the night at their place really is.
From 09/10 to 09/11/25 – Sala Petita
Circ company “eia”, directed and performed by Francesca Lissia, Celso Pereira, Jose Luis Redondo
La Pedra de Fusta offers a shared circus experience: elderly people, children, youth and adults come together with the artists to create a communal moment. Through balance, humor and trust, scenes and audience are transported and transformed. Maybe life is about learning to make stones dance. And if we join together, perhaps even stones can become easy to carry.
From 29/10 to 23/11/25 – Taller Pintura
By Lara Díez Quintanilla, directed and choreographed by Ferran Carvajal
No one taught us how to talk about death. We were told suicide is taboo. But if it can’t be said, how can it be understood? And if it can’t be understood, how can it be prevented?
From 06/11 to 30/11/25 – Sala Tallers
By Josep Maria de Sagarra, directed and composed by Xavier Albertí
Violence against women’s bodies, fatherhood, and the possibility of redemption all converge in this beautiful verse-based piece by Sagarra. Set in Solsona at the end of the 18th century, the play tells the tale of a marriage arrangement between an heiress and a young man without parents, where money needs and suspicions intertwine.
From 13/11 to 21/12/25 – Sala Gran
Written and directed by Lucía Carballal
Family as a concept to rethink what it means to belong. Dinorah died yesterday at home in Madrid. “Her people” have gathered to carry out the Abelut: the Jewish mourning tradition where close relatives retreat from the world for seven days. Seven days of coexistence to process grief together.
From 21/11 to 07/12/25 – Sala Petita
Based on Sé Tortuga by Agustín Sánchez Aguilar, by Xip Xap. Adaptation, dramaturgy and direction by Ramon Molins
The rooster is a singing teacher and his students are five turtles with rather unremarkable voices. With his endearing optimism and infinite kindness, the turtles will test the rooster’s patience and teach him that in this life, what matters isn’t how far you go, but enjoying the journey.
From 04/12 to 28/12/25 – Sala Tallers
Written and directed by Manel Dueso
Three lifelong friends reunite before Christmas for a weekend together. One of them, driven by a thirst for revenge after a recent assault, drags the others into unexpected extremes. In an atmosphere charged with rage and dark humor, the three decide to take control of their lives and get back at the men who hurt them. An exploration of sisterhood, gender-based violence, and the desire for freedom in a dehumanized world.
From 17/12/25 to 11/01/26 – Sala Petita
Casino L’Aliança del Poblenou
The 2025 Cobla Cycle begins by remembering ten local composers on the anniversaries of their birth or death. The best way to keep them present is to keep listening to their music.
29/09
Elizabeth Clapés and Alicia González will record a live episode of their podcast “Tal y Como Somos”, sharing stories and interacting with the audience.
02/10
A Musical Encounter Out of Time. The unmistakable João Bosco —voice, guitar, and soul of Brazilian music— shares the stage with Guto Wirtti, a bassist of exquisite sensitivity and sonic architect of his usual quartet.
03/10
Cat Falling is an intergenerational comedy. Can you really be friends with someone 45 years older or younger than you, with whom you seemingly share nothing in common?
05/10
A dive into the delirious universe of Homero Pettinato. A theatrical adventure into Homero’s mind, to laugh hard and choke a little. Politically incorrect? Absolutely.
23/10
Europe’s number one ABBA tribute show comes to Barcelona to make you dance like never before. Get ready to enjoy an unforgettable experience that pays homage to one of the most iconic bands in music history.
