The theatrical performance 'Don Juan, cenizas y sombras', presented by the company Ruido Interno, will kick off the first of five scheduled events in Piélagos this November. The shows will take place on Saturdays and Sundays at 19:30 in the Teatro Vimenor, located in Vioño, with free admission until the venue reaches full capacity.
On Saturday, 7 November, Ruido Interno will offer a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic 'Don Juan Tenorio', focusing on significant scenes while maintaining the essence of José Zorrilla's original verses. This adaptation aims to provide audiences with a fresh perspective on the timeless tale.
Following this, Adrián Alonso Producciones will present 'Bárbara, el musical' on Saturday, 14 November. This musical is inspired by Jean Genet's play 'Las criadas' and follows a powerful television journalist who has dominated the morning news for two decades. The plot thickens when her two interns, Isa and Alex, aspire to break free from mundane tasks and pursue their own dreams in the television industry, critiquing the sensationalist culture prevalent in recent years.
On Sunday, 22 November, the Itxartu Antzerki Taldea will perform 'El zoo de las plumas' as part of the Escena Amateur programme. This comedy revolves around Armanda and Alberta, a couple running a cabaret, whose lives are turned upside down when their adopted son, Vall, announces his engagement to the daughter of a conservative senator. In an effort to avoid scandal, they attempt to present themselves as a conventional family, leading to a series of humorous situations.
On Saturday, 28 November, the Burgos-based Bambalúa Teatro will stage 'Ñam Ñam', a family-friendly comedy suitable for ages eight and up. The performance narrates the misadventures of a pot of chickpeas that changes hands through clever tricks and deceptions, drawing inspiration from various picaresque novels and short Spanish plays from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Finally, on Sunday, 29 November, Kumen Teatro from Asturias will close the theatrical season with 'Qué broma de función', a comedic tale set in ancient Athens involving a young man infatuated with a courtesan's slave and the complications that ensue.
