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.

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?

Directed by: Alberto Conejero

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)

Copyright: Andrea Holland
Running time: 45 mins
Suitable: 6+
Venue: 21 Surrey Quays Road, London, SE16 7AR View map
Synopsis
La Dra. Eureka es una científica un poco excéntrica que vive rodeada de tubos de ensayo e inventos a medio terminar. En su laboratorio guarda un tesoro: el Gran Libro de las Científicas, donde están recogidas las mentes de las mujeres más brillantes de España y Latinoamérica.
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.
Teatro, narración y juego para recordar algo muy sencillo: la curiosidad no tiene género, y cualquiera puede llegar tan lejos como le permita su imaginación.

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.

Venue: 21 Surrey Quays Road, London, SE16 7AR View map
Synopsis:
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?
