Guadalajara will kick off its cultural weekend on Friday, 13 November, at 20:30 with a performance by comedian Dani Martínez, who will present his show “Remember.” The León-born comic returns to the stage with a monologue that explores memories, everyday situations, and shared references across generations, blending humour, impersonations, and audience interaction. Tickets are priced at €22 and €24, with an additional €2 fee for purchases made through Ticketmaster.
On Saturday, 14 November, at 19:00, the weekend will feature one of its theatrical highlights: “Bestseller. The play that Lorca never wrote,” a comedy penned by Ozkar Galán and directed by Gabriel Olivares. The cast includes Nacho Guerreros, Ana Arias, Rebeca Sala, and Andrea Alvarado, as part of the Autumn Theatre cycle. The play tells the story of Paco, a writer whose latest book has gone largely unnoticed. His wife, believing the issue lies not in literary quality but in promotion, hires a social media specialist to turn him into a viral sensation. “Bestseller” offers a satirical look at the obsession with visibility, questioning how much talent and artistic creation can be influenced by the need to go viral. Tickets for this performance are priced at €16, with a 20% discount available for cycle subscriptions.
The Teatro Auditorio Buero Vallejo will continue its programming on Sunday, 15 November, at 19:00 with a concert by Biodramina Mood, part of the “Guadalajara in the light of candles” cycle. This musical evening will incorporate candlelight into the performance's ambience, complementing various events in the cycle throughout autumn and winter.
The 2026 Season of Early Music will also take place on Saturday, 14 November, featuring a concert titled “Fantasías, himnos y villanescas del siglo XVI” at the Capilla de Luis de Lucena.

Entry is free until capacity is reached.
On Sunday, 15 November, at 19:30, the Teatro Moderno will host Factoría Teatro's adaptation of Francisco de Quevedo's novel “La vida del Buscón,” organised by the Fundación Siglo Futuro and featuring actors Iván Ugalde and Teresa Espejo. This play recounts the adventures of Pablos, a character from one of Spain's great picaresque novels, whose ambition for social ascension leads to a series of episodes marked by satire, survival, and critiques of appearances. Tickets are priced at €5, reduced to €3 for foundation members, and can be collected at their headquarters.
