Synopsis:
Princesses Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, and Snow White have escaped to the Real World. Left behind, the princes set out to bring them back—but when princes need help, who can they turn to?
In You’ve Got Me Out of My Head, Florian, Phillip, Beast, and Henry set out on an introspective journey in search of the women they love. Whether they find them remains uncertain, but along the way they encounter something they never expected: a healthier form of masculinity. The question is whether they will choose to embrace it.

Sinopsis:
Aurora, Bella, Cenicienta y Blancanieves han escapado al mundo real. Los príncipes, desconcertados, emprenden la misión de encontrarlas y traerlas de vuelta. Pero cuando los héroes de los cuentos necesitan ayuda… ¿a quién pueden acudir?
En Me has sacado de la cabeza, Florian, Phillip, Bestia y Henry inician un viaje tan inesperado como revelador. Mientras buscan a las mujeres que aman, se enfrentan también a sus propios miedos, inseguridades y a la idea de lo que significa ser un príncipe.
No saben si lograrán recuperar a las princesas, pero en el camino descubrirán algo mucho más valioso: una forma más sana, libre y auténtica de entender la masculinidad.
La verdadera pregunta es… ¿se atreverán a abrazarla?

Synopsis:
Faced with the current crisis in theatre and exhibition, we embrace a more essential artistic approach, entrusting two performers with staging the tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea.
Drawing on techniques from both drama and object theatre, this production seeks a dynamic, contemporary form rich in visual elements. Its purpose is to invite audiences into the heart of the work, moving beyond the detached, intellectual perspective that often arises from reading it.
ES:

Su objetivo es acercar al público al corazón de la obra, trascendiendo la distancia intelectual que con frecuencia provoca su lectura para ofrecer una experiencia viva, emocionante y plenamente teatral.

Synopsis:
A regional president is desperate for an electoral game changer. Her advisor and a businessman offer the ideal campaign pledge: a decarbonisation plant that claims to save the planet by removing CO₂ from the air.
The answer to climate change! There’s just one catch: it doesn’t work. Confess the failure—or sell the fiction to the voters? Which matters more: the planet, or the story told about it?
Trees Don’t Vote is a sharp political comedy—both unsettling and familiar—that satirises greenwashing, political spin, and the lies justified in the name of the common good. Ready to laugh—and leave furious?
ES:
Sinopsis:
La presidenta de una comunidad autónoma necesita con urgencia un golpe de efecto que cambie el rumbo de las elecciones. Su asesor y un influyente empresario le ofrecen la promesa perfecta: una planta de descarbonización capaz de salvar el planeta eliminando CO₂ de la atmósfera. La solución definitiva a la crisis climática.
Solo hay un problema: no funciona.
¿Reconocer el fracaso o vender la ficción al electorado? ¿Qué pesa más: proteger el planeta o controlar el relato?
Los árboles no votan es una afilada comedia política, tan incómoda como reconocible, que pone en el punto de mira el greenwashing, la manipulación política y las mentiras que se justifican en nombre del bien común.
Prepárate para reír… y salir del teatro con más preguntas que respuestas.

Running time: 60 mins followed by a 20 minute Q&A with an English-Spanish interpreter

Venue: 21 Surrey Quays Road, London, SE16 7AR View map
Synopsis:
Leonora is a poetic journey into the world of surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, focusing on her youth and years in Spain after the Civil War. Rather than a conventional biography, it evokes fragments of her luminous spirit, resistance, and longing for freedom. Inspired by her diary Memories from Below, the piece explores her artistic awakening, psychiatric violence, and imagination’s power to transcend time.
Carrington’s life and creations continue to captivate, revealing the light and shadow of an era. “If this stage were not a stage, it would be a canvas.”
The play “LEONORA” features an award-winning actress and playwright. NATALIA HUARTE: Max Award for Best Actress Actors and Actresses Union Award (2026) Ercilla Theatre Award (2019) ALBERTO CONEJERO: National Dramatic Literature Award (2019) Max Award for Playwriting (2016) Ceres Award for Best Playwright (2015)
ES:
Sinopsis:
Leonora es un viaje poético al universo de la artista surrealista Leonora Carrington, centrado en su juventud y en los años que vivió en España tras la Guerra Civil. Más que una biografía convencional, la obra evoca destellos de su espíritu indómito, su resistencia y su inquebrantable anhelo de libertad.
Inspirada en su diario Memorias de abajo, la pieza recorre su despertar artístico, la violencia psiquiátrica que sufrió y el inmenso poder de la imaginación para trascender el tiempo y la realidad.
La vida y la obra de Carrington siguen fascinando por su capacidad para iluminar, desde la poesía y el misterio, las luces y las sombras de toda una época.
«Si este escenario no fuera un escenario, sería un lienzo».

There’s only one way to save them: travel through time!

Curiosity has no gender, and imagination can take anyone anywhere.
ES:
Sinopsis:

Pero un día, al abrirlo… ¡sorpresa! El libro está en blanco. Alguien ha borrado a todas las pioneras. Solo hay una manera de arreglarlo: viajar en el tiempo.
Niñas y niños se convierten en exploradoras y exploradores, enfrentándose a acertijos, pruebas y algún que otro lío para rescatar historias como las de Trinidad Arroyo, Elisa Soriano, Margarita Salas, Francia Márquez, Márcia Cristina Barbosa o María del Pilar Carreón.

Content awareness: Mentions of suicide
Venue: 21 Surrey Quays Road, London, SE16 7AR View map
Synopsis:
e show invites us into the suspended lives of three individuals evicted from their homes. One tenant’s suicide amid imminent eviction prompts the building’s new owners to relocate all tenants to a ship.
This vessel, an island for the less privileged, embodies an uncertain fate and echoes the myth of Charon, the ferryman who carried souls between worlds in exchange for a coin. The piece explores displacement, fragility, and the haunting metaphor of passage.
ES:
Sinopsis:
Archipiélago nos adentra en las vidas suspendidas de tres personas que han sido expulsadas de sus hogares. El suicidio de uno de los inquilinos, acorralado por un desahucio inminente, lleva a los nuevos propietarios del edificio a trasladar al resto de los residentes a un barco.
Convertida en una isla flotante para quienes han quedado al margen, la embarcación simboliza un destino incierto y evoca el mito de Caronte, el barquero que transportaba las almas de un mundo a otro a cambio de una moneda.
Con una poderosa carga poética, Archipiélago reflexiona sobre el desarraigo, la vulnerabilidad y el tránsito entre dos mundos, convirtiendo el viaje en una conmovedora metáfora de la exclusión y la búsqueda de un lugar al que pertenecer.

Jaime and Marla were once “us.” Now only two voices remain, reaching for each other through memories, reproaches, and silence. On a bare stage, their monologues weave together to reveal a universal truth: two people who loved each other deeply, yet could not save themselves.
Spanish Theatre Festival FesTeLõn 2026 presents ‘If We Ever Become Us’: a moving story where love and memory collide.
Ignasi Vidal’s new play — by the author of successes such as THE PLAN, DIGNITY, and DRIBBLING — offers an intimate portrait of human fragility. It confronts us with a question many of us have feared at some point: what remains when love is no longer enough?
