El Retablo de las Maravillas at Fernán Gómez

This production of Miguel de Cervantes' entremés "El Retablo de las Maravillas" is brought to the stage by the renowned company Els Joglars, in co-production with the Teatro Cervantes of Málaga. The play explores how Cervantes' metaphor of a collective illusion continues to resonate today, perhaps in even more extreme and grotesque forms. The director reflects on how modern societies, educated in the welfare state, often feel a false sense of superiority over the past, yet the human condition remains unchanged.

Attendees can expect a thought-provoking theatrical experience that holds a mirror to contemporary society, questioning the invisible pressures that enforce collective fictions. The performance takes place at the Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa, a well-known cultural venue in Madrid's Salamanca district. With its blend of classic text and modern relevance, this show offers a compelling evening for theatre lovers.
