Diario Vivo

Live journalism show in which journalists, writers and other figures from various fields recount, live on the stage of the Teatro Gran Vía in Madrid, stories that have marked them.

Diario Vivo is a live storytelling format that brings together on stage journalists, writers, artists and personalities from various fields. Each participant tells, for the first time, a story that has left a mark on them, with no projections or audiovisual media involved. It is presented as the first show of this kind in Spain.

The concept takes as its reference Pop-Up Magazine, created about ten years ago in California by journalist Douglas McGray, and has recent versions in France, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium. Its editions held in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza and Mérida have featured numerous authors, among them Iñaki Gabilondo, Rosa Montero and Julio Llamazares.

The underlying idea is to restore credibility to those who tell stories, in a context of distrust towards the media and an excess of disinformation. As nothing is recorded or photographed, what happens on stage remains only in the memory of those who attend. The show is staged at the Teatro Gran Vía, in Madrid.
