FesTeLõn - Festival Spanish Theatre London

Since 2013 FesTeLõn – the Festival of Spanish Theatre of London is an independent initiative that brings Spanish theatre companies to London to perform in Spanish with English subtitles. A diversity of productions submerge the audience in some of the most exciting modern and classic Spanish theatre, talks, workshops, a play for kids and a piano concert. 2019 edition will start with ‘La Calderona’, a black comedy musical that uses hip-hop, with a live DJ on stage. It will continue with the 2019 winning production of AlmagrOff, ‘La Margarita del Tajo que dio nombre a Santarén’. Lorca’s acclaimed play Yerma will open the second week of the festival. With only one actor on stage, Powdered Fists (Puños de Harina) presents two gipsy boxers living at different moments in time but sharing similar experiences of violence, masculinity, racism and homophobia. And last but not least, ‘Crickets and Fireflies’ (Grillos y Luciérnagas), a production about the lights and sounds of the night will instil the theatre bug in the younger audiences.
