"A rediscovery of life and theatre"

'Entremeses' was one of the first shows produced by La Abadía and is strongly engrained on the public's memory. This work was the result of a long process of training and research by a series of young actors, many of whom are still linked to La Abadía and all of whom are in great demand within the realms of private and public theatre, cinema and television.

In order to mark its Twentieth Anniversary, La Abadía has rediscovered 'Entremeses' -‘La cueva de Salamanca (The Cave of Salamanca)', ‘El viejo celoso (The Jealous Old Man) and ‘El retablo de las maravillas (The Tableau of Marvels)' - performed by a group of actors that includes several members of the original cast. Featuring the stage design of the recently deceased painter, José Hernández, the lighting of Juan Gómez Cornejo, the music of Luis Delgado and the direction of José Luis Gómez, Cervantes' popular appeal and linguistic power will once again come to life in these three well-known comical tales set in a rural environment.
