DON QUIXOTE
Corral de Comedias
April 16, 2026 - 8:30 p.m.
This is the true story of a resourceful gentleman from La Mancha who, having lost his mind, decides to set out as a knight-errant with his weapons and horse. Accompanying him on his journey is the farmhand Sancho Panza, who, riding his donkey, will become his loyal squire.
An incredible journey in search of adventure where, under the sole protection of his imagined and beloved Dulcinea, they will face together multiple dangers, all manner of grievances, and chance encounters with unique characters, with the sole aim that by overcoming them, they may earn eternal renown and fame.
Although in the world of Don Quixote, nothing is what it seems.
DON GIL OF THE GREEN BOOTS
Corral de Comedias
April 17, 2026 - 8:30 p.m.
Don Gil de las Calzas Verdes is a classic of the Spanish Golden Age that continues to resonate powerfully in our time.
Written in the 17th century, this play is much more than a comedy of errors; it is a celebration of female wit and power—values that today, more than ever, we need to recognize and champion on stage.
THALIA’S CHILDBIRTH
Corral de Comedias
April 18, 2026 - 8:30 p.m.
This vibrant theatrical celebration begins with the unexpected appearance of the goddess Thalia, who gives birth to a peculiar troupe of characters born from the very essence of Golden Age comedy. Directed by Antonio Laguna, the play plunges us into a whirlwind of entanglements where impetuous lovers, braggarts, cunning hustlers, and perceptive servants find themselves caught up in hilarious and touching situations. The plot unfolds in a festive and lively atmosphere, seasoned with folk songs and the folklore of La Mancha, exploring the eternal conflict between carnal desires and social duties, life and death. It is a witty tribute to the minstrels and jesters, connecting the audience with the rich theatrical tradition of our Golden Age in an irreverent and joyful way, bringing the story to life before their eyes.
EL LAZARILLO DE TORMES
Corral de Comedias
April 19, 2026 - 6:30 p.m.
Let me tell you something: I will never abandon Lazarillo.
Every time I perform it, I enjoy it immensely. I have never stopped connecting with the audience in a special way. The satisfaction of joy cannot be faked, and I truly enjoy this play.
(Rafael Álvarez “El Brujo”)
The play tackles a universal problem: even today, people’s desires revolve around ambition and power. It’s like a metaphor that everyone understands; it’s a world, a wellspring of life and meanings that guide you. It was born in an era of enormous imbalances between the official world of the Court and the real world of hunger. And then, just as now, you can’t be happy in an unhappy world, because the mistreated lives are connected to your own. At least I can’t.
For all these reasons—because Fernán Gómez knew how to capture the soul of this rogue, because I am passionate about reciting his adventures on stage—here is this wonderful story, essential to me, just as it is to serve the audience’s needs at every moment. A need that may be for fun, enlightenment, relaxation, silence, or a cry. Who knows.
