This recognition highlights the narrative power of a production that, through object theatre, reconstructs the memory of a femicide in a small Castilian village during the dictatorship. Lisa Peyron and Daniel Olmos succeed in transforming a family taboo into a necessary collective reflection, balancing the story’s harshness with a “saving” distance.

After receiving three Drac d’Or awards at the Fira de Titelles de Lleida (2024) and being featured in El País’ Top 10 as one of the best plays of 2025, this award confirms VIVA! as one of the standout gems in our catalogue.

FETEN is the leading showcase for performing arts for children and young people in Spain, setting industry trends each year. It is an unmissable event that brings together the country’s most influential programmers and professionals.

On Sunday, 22 February, we will present VIVA! by the French-Spanish company La Loquace Cie, a story about social and family taboos under the Franco dictatorship. Using humour as a critical and transformative tool, the piece questions the collective responsibility implicit in individual actions. A unique opportunity to discover a piece that has been included in El País’ list of the 10 best productions of 2025.

From 22 to 24 February, it will be the turn of ACASA by Cia. Ortiga, the company behind emblematic productions such as the award-winning An-ki and Kumulunimbu. On this occasion, they present a short, wordless story through puppets and objects, conceived for non-conventional spaces, where two characters invite us into their peculiar home.

Finally, on Thursday 26 February, Cie DK59 arrives from France to present BOLERO, a fresh and vibrant reinterpretation of Ravel’s celebrated score that explores the gestures of childhood. The tour will continue in March with confirmed dates in Valladolid, Valencia, Madrid, and Alicante.
