News of closures abound more than those of openings, so we are happy to announce that the cultural scene of Barcelona is about to recover an emblematic space: the Sala Muntaner, which closed its doors six years ago.
The space will reopen this fall with a new name, Teatre Muntaner (carrer Muntaner, 4), and a completely renovated program focused on humor.
The Sala Muntaner, with more than 20 years of history, closed in September 2018 after a complicated last season and difficulties in finding administrative support, as explained at the time, the theater’s spokesman, Joan Estrada.
Behind this reopening are producer Sandra Reyes and actor Toni Cano, who will take over the direction of the theater with other partners. And although an exact date for the reopening has not yet been set, nor has the full program been revealed, the renovation work has already begun. In fact, currently, the door of the theater displays a sign above the still closed shutter that reads: “el riure aixeca el teló aquesta temporada a Barcelona”.
Although there will be a diverse program, the focus will be on humor. Proof of this is the inclusion of ‘Corta el cable rojo’, an improvisation company that has triumphed in Madrid and is already at the Teatre Apolo in Barcelona. This show, of which Sandra Reyes is one of those responsible, will now expand with performances at the Teatre Muntaner.
