This initiative, promoted by the Vitoria City Council and the Basque Government, in collaboration with the companies El mono habitado and Pez Limbo, will offer eight free sessions until full capacity is reached. The project seeks to transform commercial establishments into artistic stages, highlighting local businesses and enriching the city's cultural offerings.
The short performances, lasting between 10 and 23 minutes, will be held at three times: 6:00 PM, 6:45 PM, and 7:30 PM. The program includes seven short theater plays and one dance piece, distributed across various neighborhood shops.
“"We are transforming our city's establishments into stages for art, bringing theater and dance closer to a diverse audience and showcasing local businesses in different neighborhoods of Vitoria-Gasteiz."
The cycle will commence on Tuesday, April 14, at the Origen store on General Álava street, with the play Ni arriba ni abajo. On the same day, Perlasalute, located at Bernal Díaz de Luco, 13, will host Frame, a dance piece by Laura Cobo that explores movement and rhythm.
