Teatro Pérez Galdós
The Pérez Galdós Theatre is a cultural institution with more than a century of history. It was built in the Triana district, near Vegueta, on the left bank of the Guiniguada ravine. During this time it has been the prime centre for the performing arts on the island of Gran Canaria and the cultural heart of the city. Today the Pérez Galdós Theatre is an architectural landmark, a social emblem and an inescapable political reference point for the capital and also for the island. It has a regular programme all year round and is the home of the Alfredo Kraus Opera Festival.

Bello Universo
Bello Universo es un viaje escénico y musical sobre el exilio, la memoria y las falsas redenciones de mujeres silenciadas, construido a partir de las canciones de Kurt Weill. Berlín, París y Nueva York marcan la travesía de La Pasajera que encarna a las creadoras invisibles y a quienes el exilio condenó al olvido. Entre la memoria, la ironía y la poesía, su viaje transcurre por un territorio donde lo íntimo se entrelaza con lo colectivo, invitando al público a convertirse en testigo de una travesía sin puerto de llegada. Un viaje escénico-musical sobre el exilio, la memoria y las falsas redenciones de mujeres silenciadas, a través de las canciones de Kurt Weill. La puesta en escena articula metateatro, ironía y poesía bajo una estética poderosa.mEl público no es un mero espectador: se convierte en tripulación y testigo de un viaje tan íntimo como colectivo.Al final, La Pasajera sigue siendo una exiliada eterna. Y queda la pregunta abierta:¿Existe un Bello Universo o es solo una ilusión? Un marcado componente estético sostiene esta propuesta, concebida para subrayar la fuerza y el estilo musical de Kurt Weill. La escenografía, minimalista y funcional, incorpora elementos practicables que configuran un espacio versátil: un punto de partida desde el que el relato transita de la intimidad del personaje a la vastedad de un barco que avanza sin rumbo por un océano sin retorno. La arquitectura teatral se incorpora como un marco activo que amplifica la puesta en escena y se integra de manera orgánica en la dramaturgia. En el centro del espacio, el piano funciona como eje y brújula, un punto fijo que orienta el desarrollo dramático y musical. La luz guía al espectador por los distintos estados emocionales y psicológicos de la protagonista, alternando precisión y contraste, mientras el vídeo introduce una capa adicional que intensifica la experiencia sensorial. Todo el conjunto responde a una estética concebida para potenciar la dramaturgia y trazar un recorrido envolvente por el universo musical de Kurt Weill.
