Exhibition «La Cubana: 45 years playing at this thing called theatre»

Palau Robert proudly hosts the exhibition «La Cubana: 45 years playing at this thing called theatre», a vibrant tribute to the career of one of Spain’s most iconic and pioneering companies in transgressive humour and theatrical experimentation. Since becoming professional in 1983 with «La Cubana’s Delikatessen», this collective has revolutionised the dramatic arts, transforming the everyday into spectacle and the ordinary into the extraordinary.

About this event

The exhibition, which will be open to the public until 25 May, offers a journey through the evolution of La Cubana, from its beginnings in Sitges in the 1980s to becoming a benchmark for comedy of manners. Curated by Jordi Milán, with coordination and documentation by Frederic Santa-Olalla y Pol Vinyes, and designed by La Cubana’s own team, the exhibition is a visual and anecdotal account that reveals the keys to its success and its unique approach to theatre.

At La Cubana, theatre is more than acting; it is a multidisciplinary playground where painting, sewing and performance intertwine to create unique experiences. Surprise, the transgression of conventional spaces and unparalleled characters are the ingredients in their recipe for capturing the essence of urban life, turning the streets and their stories into their main muse.

The exhibition «La Cubana: 45 years playing at this thing called theatre» not only celebrates the decades of laughter and creativity, but also invites visitors to reflect on the role of theatre in society and how it can be a powerful tool for social observation and emotional release.

For all those interested in the history of Spanish theatre and in a company that has managed to remain relevant and loved by audiences for almost half a century, this exhibition is an essential date. Find out more and plan your visit through the Palau Robert website. Do not miss this celebration of laughter, life and theatre!
