Second half of 43rd Theater Festival at Teatro Cervantes
This Wednesday, the festival at Teatro Cervantes continues with Tres noches en Ítaca, a moving tragicomedy by Alberto Conejero. Set in a remote house by the sea, the play follows three sisters reunited after their mother’s death – unfolding a story of grief, memory and buried truths over the course of three intense nights.
Blending tenderness with sharp emotion, the piece explores loss, identity and the possibility of starting again, all while paying tribute to imagination and the humanities. A powerful, intimate production to experience live.
