Theatrical Visit: «Tenorio Romántico»

In the ballroom, don Juan will appear in a frock coat and tie, and at his side, Brígida in a 19th-century society dress. Together, they will plot to deceive doña Inés. For one night, the rooms of the Museo del Romanticismo will become the stage for the play by José Zorrilla, specially adapted for these spaces by the theatre company Theaomai.

The show «Tenorio Romántico» returns to the museum for its second edition. Its director, playwright and Universidad de Alcalá Sergio Santiago Romero professor, has set the action in the 19th century, the era in which Zorrilla himself lived. The Teatro de la Zarzuela has provided the costumes, and the setting of the rooms, reminiscent of a bourgeois home, is part of the show.

For an hour, the audience will move through different rooms, where iconic scenes from the play will be performed. The adaptation invites a contemporary look at don Juan's behaviour and addresses themes such as violence and the traditionally assigned role of women as saviours.

The performances will take place on 31 October. Entry slots will begin every 20 minutes, from 19:00 to 20:20, and each tour will last 60 minutes.

Participation is free, but places will be allocated by lottery. Registration will be open from 10:00 on 27 October until 22:00 on 28 October. The lottery will be held on 29 October, and confirmation of a place or inclusion on the waiting list will be sent by email.
