The Casa da Cultura in Burela will host the performance of "alta costura" by the Galician theatre company Elefante Elegante on Friday, 13 November 2026, at 21:00. This year marks the company's 25th anniversary.
"Alta costura" is a comedic, ironic, and poetic exploration of fashion and its close ties to consumerism, social recognition, pollution, health, and working conditions. The performance traces the journey of clothing production, from the sourcing of raw materials used in fabric manufacturing to the creation of garments, their distribution, and the troubling recycling mechanisms.
Particularly focusing on fast fashion, the piece highlights the purchasing moment, the market philosophy of major brands, and the rapid devaluation of products that leads to abundant and highly polluting waste.
This visual theatre creation, developed by María Torres and Gonçalo Guerreiro with a script by Tiago Alves Costa, features direction and set design by Gonçalo Guerreiro. The cast includes María Torres, Pablo Sánchez, Sofía Espiñeira, and Raquel Crespo.
Tickets are priced at €5 and will be available at the box office from 20:00. The performance is aimed at an adult audience and is part of the programming of the Rede Galega de Teatros e Auditorios, supported by the Xunta de Galicia, the Axencia Galega das Industrias Culturais (AGADIC), and the Concello de Burela.
