Despite holiday weekends often leading to reduced theater attendance, venues across Bizkaia are presenting a rich program of theatrical works for the extended break between late April and early May.

Weekends featuring special holidays are typically not the most favorable for theatrical offerings. Theater managers often believe that potential audiences are tempted to use these days for travel rather than enjoying interesting stage shows. This trend is amplified when these longer-than-usual weekends coincide with spring, favorable weather, or opportunities that encourage such getaways.
Nevertheless, this weekend, spanning the end of April and the beginning of May, offers theatergoers several compelling proposals. Among them is Ícaro, a work by Daniele Finzi Pasca, known for its unique interaction with the audience, which will be presented at the Teatro Campos Elíseos.
Additionally, Gigante, a play by Mark Rosenblatt, delves into the anti-Zionist views of writer Roald Dahl, featuring a text rich in personal, political, and social connotations of significant interest. Its relevance is heightened by current international events. Starring a highly acclaimed performer and directed by a renowned director, it will be shown at Bilbao's Teatro Arriaga.
Desobedientes, a production by the Tanttaka company, explores civil disobedience and its societal repercussions as a method to strengthen the democratic system, and will be staged at the Teatro Serantes in Santurtzi. For musical comedy fans, Se ha escrito un crimen offers an intriguing plot involving seven suspects, with decisive audience participation to determine the killer, at Bilbao's Teatro Campos.
Furthermore, the iconic Kulunka company presents Hegoak, a meticulously crafted show that, while appearing as a concert, features a theatrical structure with brief texts by great authors. It will include a well-known artist, accompanied by a pianist and a cellist at the Teatro Barakaldo. The BBK Sala on Bilbao's Gran Vía will host Hemodrama, a self-fiction monologue by Uruguayan multidisciplinary artist Camila Parard, exploring the boundaries of theater, performance, and visual arts. Finally, the Muxikebarri center in Getxo will feature Dulcinea, a performance by singer and actress Paloma San Basilio, which delves into a love story shadowed by Don Quixote and windmills.
