CC LUZZY THEATRE: Programming January to April 2026

The City Council continues with a high-quality, consistent program, tailored to the expectations and desires of the Luzzy audience, from January to April. It again relies heavily on the support of the ICA (Institute of Cultural Industries and Arts of the Region of Murcia). The ICA's program is complemented by a Lenten offering that evokes the spirit of Holy Week, the scent of incense, and the emotions of any procession in our city.

Tickets are sold at the Luzzy box office on Wednesdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and one hour before the performance (card payment only). Discounts are available at the box office for those over 65; tickets are €4.

 

• Thursday, January 29, 8 p.m. “SAMPLER” Teatro del Limo and DDM Teatro. ICA

Roberto, a young man comfortably settled in his routine, is fired, and his partner Aitana, a textbook influencer, inspires him to create an app where people pay to imitate gestures and poses. The result? A resounding success. But tensions also arise between Roberto's fears and Aitana's determination. The story includes a special pet, an interested neighbor, and an endless parade of memes. In this era of posing and likes, these mechanisms seep into even the most trivial and superficial aspects of life. What we copy most from others, mostly celebrities, are gestures like how they hold their phone while talking, pet their pet, or wave. Soon, in the future of SAMPLER, we'll have to pay to be a cheap imitation!

Tickets €7, discounts for those over 65 to €4

• Thursday, February 26, 8 p.m. “The Boy in the Last Row” Los Menos Theatre. ICA

Germán is a literature teacher at a high school filled with young people who have little  interest in the classics and no writing skills. Germán  despairs while correcting essays until Claudio's text rescues him from  his tedium and hooks him with the promise of a sequel… From this point on,  a bond as intense as it is dangerous develops between the adult and the boy. “The Boy in the Last Row” is a play by Juan Mayorga about teachers and students, about parents and children; about people who have already seen too much and people who are learning to see. A play about the pleasure of peeking into other people's lives and about the risks of confusing life and literature. A play about those who choose the last row: the one from which all the others can be seen. Juan Mayorga won the MAX Award for Best Playwriting at the 11th edition in 2008 for “The Boy in the Last Row.”

• Thursday, March 12, 8 p.m. “Show Park” Spasmo Theatre. ICA

Every city has a park. And every park has a bench. Benches that are silent witnesses to our daily lives. Life that unfolds around them… and often even on them. Without giving them a second thought. Without paying them any attention. Everyday life that, despite its ordinariness, never ceases to amaze us. What would happen if one of these benches, silent observers of our existence, could speak? Show Park will explore the astonishing and absurd world of our daily lives with the company's characteristic physical comedy style. A carefully crafted soundtrack and impeccable staging complete a show whose main characteristics are humor, rhythm, and surprise.

Tickets €7, discounts for those over 65 to €4

• Wednesday, March 25, 8 p.m. “Beloved Disciple” Fran Gómez Performing Arts. Cartagena City Council

A theatrical monologue to relive and understand anew the word of God. The character of John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, has been chosen because in the sensitivity of this apostle, the true passion and suffering of the Son of God's death are awakened. This play recounts and conveys the passion and death of Christ just as Saint John narrated it in his Gospel. It leaves us with the same messages of hope, strengthens our faith, and even encourages us to continue as new believers in that message of love that Jesus left us. The theatrical production evokes the atmosphere of Holy Week, smells of incense, and stirs emotions like any Christian procession. All this is achieved through the power of words, aided by the actors' performances that rekindle every emotion of those days that marked the history of humanity.

Sponsored by Cartagena City Council: Tickets €5, discounts for those over 65 to €4

• Thursday, April 23, 8 p.m. “La Celestina. Spinning the Fine Lines” Arena Theatre ICA

Celestina, a true classic of Spanish literature, is a story of love and desire that reflects the class differences of 16th-century Spain. Respecting the original plot and employing humor, La Celestina, hilando fino (La Celestina, Weaving Fine Threads) is a unique and genuine production created to bring Fernando de Rojas's work to audiences of all ages. Arena Teatro delves into this classic, originally unthinkable to stage, to highlight the work's main themes through the lens of contemporary relevance, with their characteristic dynamism and freshness.
