Anatomia d’un suïcidi (Alice Birch)
Dramatic play that explores the weight of trauma and suicide through three generations of women (Carol, Anna and Bonnie). The text, structured as a triptych, is performed in parallel and questions how family traumas can be transmitted and mark people’s destiny.

L’imperatiu categòric
Acid and tender comedy by Victoria Szpunberg, starring Àgata Roca and Xavi Sáez. The play portrays the precariousness in the university, housing and loneliness through Clara G., an ethics professor in personal and professional crisis. Recently separated and about to lose her home, Clara faces anxiety attacks and dark thoughts, questioning the ethical limits in an increasingly hostile environment.
📍 Location: Teatre Lliure (Gràcia)
📅 Dates: Until June 22, 2025
Price: From 12 to 32 €.
Travy
Meta-theatrical and family play that mixes clown, popular theater and post-dramatic forms. Travy is a tribute to the Pla-Solina family, minstrels and artists who explore the border between life and theater, lies and truth. The story shows two generations: the veterans looking for their last show and the young rebelling against the inherited forms. Travy is an emotional comedy, full of absurd humor and reflection on art, family and identity, with a frenetic pace and moments of great tenderness.
📍 Location: Teatre Romea
📅 Dates: Until June 29, 2025
💵 Price: From 21€.
Don’t touch my story ( Olivia Lara)
Comedy that revisits the classic tales and stereotypes of Disney princesses from a current and vindictive perspective, although critics point out that it stays on the surface and abuses the easy humor. Even so, the cast does a good job and the play is entertaining for those looking for a light and carefree proposal.
📍 Location: Teatre Poliorama
📅 Dates: Until January 31, 2026
💵 Price: From 16€.
The Archimedes Principle
Josep Maria Miró builds a psychological thriller in which the perception of reality is put to the test. An innocent gesture of a children’s swimming instructor triggers a series of suspicions and judgments that expand uncontrollably. Through a fragmented structure and an intelligent use of points of view, the play questions social prejudices and the way we interpret facts. This new staging, directed by Leonardo V. Granados, highlights the play’s validity as a classic of contemporary theater.
📍 Location: Espai Texas
📅 Dates: Until September 29, 2025
💵 Price: Starting at 17€.
