📖 Surrealist Delirium at the Residencia de Estudiantes

In 1924, three young visionaries destined to redefine 20th-century art crossed paths at Madrid's Residencia de Estudiantes to stage a surrealist reinterpretation of Zorrilla's classic. Led by Luis Buñuel and fueled by the boundless imaginations of Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca, this irreverent take became a groundbreaking laboratory of creative freedom.

🎭 The Creative Spark of an Unrepeatable Generation

Key figures of that vibrant circle join this chaotic adventure, including Maruja Mallo, Pepín Bello, Margarita Manso, and Moreno Villa. Amidst rehearsals, laughter, and Freudian debates, the performance captures the untamed vitality, contradictions, and sensitivity of an extraordinary generation.

ℹ️ Good to know: Recommended for adult audiences.

✨ An electrifying journey into the rebellious imagination of the Spanish avant-garde.
