27 Generation Tour

Contemporary theatre written by Adrián Perea and directed by Carolina Román, bringing together writers of the Generation of '27 on a historical journey shaped as a luxury sightseeing tour, marking the centenary of that group.

27 Generation Tour is an in-house production by Nave 10 Matadero, written by Adrián Perea and directed by Carolina Román. It is set in the centenary of the Generation of '27 and offers a theatrical journey in which Lorca, Alberti, María Zambrano, Concha Méndez and other creators of that era engage in dialogue with the present. It is contemporary theatre that combines humour with emotion.

The fiction imagines an immersive historical tourism company that admits only VIP clients. Its premium experience consists of meeting Lorca, Cernuda, Maruja Mallo, Rafael Alberti, Ernestina de Champourcín, Concha Méndez and María Zambrano over several consecutive Christmases. The starting point recalls the gathering the generation held at the Ateneo de Sevilla a century ago, in homage to Luis de Góngora.

Carolina Román's direction emphasises intimacy and emotion, so that the journey is as entertaining as it is moving. Pilar G. Almansa, dramaturg of the season at Nave 10 Matadero, is quoted in the presentation to raise the idea of changing the past and laughing at it. The show is staged at Nave 10 of the Matadero in Madrid, a venue that hosts shows in a range of performance languages.
