Cartagena restores the scenic offerings of the Nuevo Teatro Circo

Date:

From January to June, comedy, drama and musicals meet in the first programming prepared by actor Jorge de Juan

Stable performing arts programming finally returns to Cartagena. The Nuevo Teatro Circo once again opens the curtain with a program that will bring some of the best national theater, music and dance companies to this city, in addition to putting this cultural infrastructure “at the service of the municipal theater, its companies and the talent local “, said Mayor Noelia Arroyo, who presided over the presentation of the new programming under the motto ‘The stage is yours’.

The act, which was also attended by the Councilor of Culture, David Martínez Noguera; and the Deputy Mayor of this area, Carlos Piñana, served as the official presentation of the actor and cultural manager Jorge de Juan as General Coordinator of Cultural Projects and Performing Arts of the City Council of Cartagena, a personal commitment from Mayor Arroyo.

The event also announced the restoration of the Mudanzas Festival, overseen by its founder Marga Amante and the leadership of Cartagena’s Kike Guerrero, and the consolidation of the Mucho Más Mayo Festival.

“In addition to giving life to the Nuevo Teatro Circo with the new blood of those who are just starting out, we want to give the Cartagena audience the best shows from the best national companies,” said Arroyo, referring to figures such as Pere Ponce, Blanca Portillo, Gabino Diego, Vicky Peña, Manuel Galiana, Elisa Matilla and many others, “who will join artists from the Murcia region to illuminate this new stage.”

The mayor mentioned the two novelties presented by the theater world this year, highlighting the transfer to municipal ownership of the Nuevo Teatro Circo de Cartagena and the inclusion of the aforementioned Jorge de Juan as coordinator of cultural projects, a responsibility for which he will charges 43,600 euros per year (for 70% of his regular day).

The sum of these two novelties, he assured, is already starting to bear fruit “by defining the model of performing arts for Cartagena, which has a double direction: supporting local creators and offering the viewer the best possible programming.”

The program presented, the first of Jorge de Juan’s new stage, a varied offer without surprises, starts the second week of January with Carlos Sobera and Plauto’s work ‘Miles Gloriosus’, and runs until the month of June with about twenty theatrical, musical and dance shows , with directors of the stature of Juan Mayorga, Helena Pimienta or Mario Gas.

On February 29 there will be a musical tribute to Mamma Mía (What a wedding hassle!) and on February 2 ‘Los pazos de Ulloa’.

On February 10, La Púa Escénica presents ‘Martirio Alba’. The month of February will close with ‘Silencio’, by Juan Mayorga (Princess of Asturias Prize for Literature 2022), with Blanca Portillo as the sole protagonist, and the latest from the Spanish Ballet of Murcia by the sisters Carmen and Matilde Rubio, ‘Penelope’. It will be on the 23rd and 25th respectively.

Other planned works are: ‘The kidnappers of the Chiemsee’ (2 March), ‘Ica. Dirty Dream’ by Juanma Soriano (March 10), ‘The Bremer Musicians’ (March 17), ‘Rumbo a Faraout’ (March 23), ‘Antígona’ (March 30), ‘The Collapse of Tenderness’ by Luisma Soriano (April 13), ‘My body will be the way’ (April 27), ‘Ojos que no ven’, with Mamen García and Jorge Roales (May 6), ‘The curve of happiness’ (May 13), ‘Bernarda Alba.
