Denmark
Text: Lluïsa Cunillé. Direction: Albert Arribas
Cast: Pere Arquillué and Imma Colomer. Sala Beckett. Barcelona. Until June 14
The play by Lluïsa Cunillé staged with a very risky approach by Albert Arribas reveals the traps of theater while claiming them. An extraordinary collaboration far from other similar and interchangeable shows.

Cast: Carolina África, Ahimsa and Jorge Kent. Centro Dramático Nacional. Teatro María Guerrero. Sala Princesa. Madrid. Until June 21
The Madrid author, director, and performer Carolina África moves the audience with a precise diagnosis of the shortcomings of public healthcare, served with a sense of humor and wrapped in a naturalism at times equivalent to that used by Romeo Castellucci in ‘Sul concetto di volto nel figlio di Dio’.
