Where does it take place?
Agenda CARTAGENA IS CULTURE: January to May.
MUSIC AND THEATRE
Theatre, music, cinema and family activities are just some of the disciplines included in the programme. In addition to musical proposals as diverse as those of Antoñito Molina, Ainhoa Arteta, Celtas Cortos, the Film Symphony Orchestra or the opera El Trovador, there will also be a focus on local artists, thanks to initiatives such as the Ciclo Creadores, which aims to programme musicians from Cartagena in spaces such as Mr Witt.
This season you will be able to enjoy the latest performances by actors such as Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, Carlos Sobera, Carles Sans, Carlos Hipólito or Kiti Mánver. Local companies such as BonjourMonAmour Producciones, Aladroque Teatro, Representainment & Iraty or the regional companies Zarco, Arena, Yampo or Nacho Vilar Producciones will star in the Luzzy's theatre season.
LETTERS
The Cartagena Piensa programme of the City Council will feature great contemporary thinkers such as Francisco Jarauta, the promoter of collective intelligence, Amalio A. Rey; or Lara López, poet and journalist of RNE, who together with the artist Ángel Haro will talk about María Cegarra.
In addition, literature will be present thanks to AbrirLibro, which will take place next April and meetings with authors, such as the Peruvian journalist Gabriela Wiener, winner of the 2024 National Poetry Prize, Chus Pato, or the writer Juan Manuel de Prada.
CINEMA AND FAMILY ACTIVITIES
The Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Centre will offer free screenings every Friday through the FICCmoteca, which will feature the latest proposals by Pilar Palomero, Levan Akin and Paola Cortellesi. The Francophone Film Festival will also be held together with the Alliance Française of Cartagena; while the Regional Film Library offers free screenings every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Fundación Mediterráneo.
The little ones will enjoy children's theatre performances at El Luzzy, which will also include performances in English for children aged 4 and up. The Storytelling Cycles will continue and there will be family shows in Plaza Juan XXIII. Another new feature will be baby stories for babies aged 0 to 36 months.
Humour and magic will also be present with performances by the illusionist Yunke, as well as comedians Martita de Graná, Dani Martínez, Faemino y Cansado and Juan Carlos Ortega. A new edition of the Cartagena es magia competition, the festival run by Abelmagia, will also be held.
The agenda includes all the activities until May, “which will be the month of culture in the streets,” the mayor stressed. The Night of Museums, the Mucho Más Mayo Festival, and the MuDanzas contemporary dance festival are just some of the events planned for this month.
