Tenerife Auditorium Presents 92 Performances of Performing Arts and 13 Artistic Residencies
Dance shows, La Salita’s theatre programming, and new investigations underpin the schedule
The Tenerife Auditorium has announced its Performing Arts programme for the 2025-2026 season: 92 performances and 13 artistic residencies and theatre laboratories. Dance and theatre events for September and October are already on sale. Details were provided by the Culture councillor, José Carlos Acha, and the artistic director of the cultural institution, José Luis Rivero.
José Carlos Acha explained that “this activity complements the 57 concerts of our own programming, 35 performances by Ópera de Tenerife, and 25 by the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra.” The councillor praised the diversity and richness of the programming that the Auditorium offers to the citizens of the island. He also commended “all the work done daily, both artistic and technical, that the public does not see.” “Few auditoriums can match the effort that ours demonstrates each season,” he added.
José Luis Rivero noted that performing arts are “the third pillar of the Tenerife Auditorium, alongside opera and music, addressing the languages of body and word.” “We will offer seven new productions of theatre and dance this season,” he specified, stating that “Tenerife Auditorium is the largest centre for artistic production in the Canary Islands and one of the largest in Spain, a wealth of knowledge we put at the service of the sector.”
Rivero discussed the establishment of La Salita, “featuring a stable and weekly programme of text-based theatre, small-scale, intense, intimate, and committed, tackling social, political, dissident, and feminist themes, which highlight diversity.”
This exhibition offer is complemented by artistic residencies and theatre laboratories, “a project that the Auditorium has been developing for 22 years and continues to provide from La Salita by offering artists space, time, and human, financial, and technical resources, to enable research and potential new productions.”
The season kicks off on 6 and 7 September in the Symphony Hall with the premiere of Blurred Fish, a production by Tenerife Auditorium featuring the companies of Tenerife dancer Carmen Fumero and Taiwan’s Chang Dance Theatre. The action moves outdoors with Maña, from the company of Manuel Alcántara, a show that bridges circus and performance, taking place in the Auditorium square on 20 and 21 September.
The La Salita season opens on 25, 26, and 28 September with Carmen, Nobody’s, based on the true story of Carmen Díez Rivera, the Chief of Cabinet to the President of the Government of Spain during the transition. Theatre continues in October with The Zombie Girls by Celso Giménez of La Tristura, Crossover Books by Delirium Teatro, and Shadows, of Course by El Silencio company.
On Sunday, 26 October, the Symphony Hall will host Prélude, from the French Accrorap Company, a work in which choreographer Kader Attou invites around ten professional hip-hop dancers from the southern region to explore their artistic universe.
La Salita continues its programming through October, November, December, and January with Memento Mori or the Celebration of Death, by Sergio Blanco; Lost Sheep, Come Over My Shoulders for Today I Am Not Only Your Shepherd But Your Pasture Too by Chamán Producciones; Marcela (A Song of Cervantes), by the Cervantine Society; Helen Keller, Wonder Woman?, by Chévere company; Does the Bald Singer Always Comb Her Hair the Same Way?, by El Desleal company; Thebes Land, by Timbre 4; Romeo and Juliet and The Dream by Cía. Criolla; Violence, by Diego Garrido Sanz; and Mystery of the Christ of the Gascones, by Nao d’amores.

Delio Island; The Undertaker, by Gerard Vázquez and Pepe Zapata; The Small Moves, by Vanessa Espín; Filter and Dysphoria, by María Goiricelaya; Terra do Fogo, by Hotel Europa; The Great Hunt, by Juan Mayorga; and The Jácara of the Impossible Bodies, by Alberto Velasco.

The dance programme continues in June and July with the co-production of The Argentine in Paris 2, by Cía. Antonio Najarro, featuring the Tenerife Symphony; Bogotá, by the young choreographer Andrea Peña’s company; and The Jaw, by Extremadura’s Paloma Muñoz company.
