Theaters Madrid

Created in 1880, this association has found refuge in an Art Deco building, the work of the architect Antonio Palacios Ramilo, which alone is worth a visit. In addition to the exhibition rooms, the cultural centre has a theatre, where new plays on contemporary subjects are performed, as well as a cinema-studio where films of different origins and genres are shown. After a nice visit, the best thing to do is to enjoy a coffee at l'Azotea while taking in the panoramic view of the whole of Madrid from the roof of the building.

This beautiful theatre, located in the heart of Madrid, is unfortunately closed until further notice.

Under the fountain of Plaza Colón is the excellentFernán Gómez center with its four cultural spaces (Guirau hall, Jardiel Poncela hall, exhibition hall, multipurpose hall). In addition to the numerous exhibitions (ask around), there are also zarzuela shows, contemporary theater, concerts and conferences. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the shows offered by this cultural center.

It is the only theater that is located in the same place as a corral de comedias (an ancestor of the theater where spectators sat in balconies arranged around a central stage). Since 1565, artists have been performing in this place in the capital. The present hall was built in 1745. Many great writers, such as Lorca (whose statue is at the entrance of the theater), have presented their plays in this theater. Today, many Spanish plays and foreign classics are performed here.

The building, home of the National Dramatic Centre, is an example of 19th century Madrid metal architecture. Behind the classic facade of this María Guerrero theatre is a neo-Mudejar style interior decoration. Its programme is open to contemporary trends, particularly Spanish, among others. Its quiet and relatively inexpensive cafeteria is often visited by the actors who perform at the Drama Centre.

The Sala Triangulo is located in one of the most typical neighborhoods of Madrid, Lavapiés. A lot of movement in this room that can accommodate a hundred people. Theater of all styles. The theater opened its doors in 1988 to give young creators the opportunity to perform their work. The plays tackle in a frontal and rather provocative way contemporary problematic themes: daily life, sex, the couple..
