Verborrea is a theatrical performance written and directed by Pablo Remón, exploring themes of memory, narrative inheritance, and identity. The play centers on the fictional punk band Verborrea and the rise and fall of its members. It follows two brothers, Kike and Segis, shaped by their upbringing under a Francoist father near the Valle de los Caídos. Segis, in particular, defines himself in opposition to his environment, leading to the creation of his own tales and identity. The narrative highlights how individual memories and interpretations of events can differ, even for foundational elements like the band's music. The performance questions how we internalize, resist, accept, and perpetu

This exhibition by Juan López explores the urban environment through the signs and traces left on its surfaces, such as scratches on asphalt or markings on brick. López views these as a form of communication, a language that cities use to tell stories of layered time. His practice focuses on the superficial and everyday, transforming it into a conscious dialogue with our immediate surroundings. He articulates and breaks down the physical and temporal elements of the urban system to investigate these signs and their potential alterations. Rather than speaking about the city, López converses with it, acknowledging and coexisting with it. The exhibition takes place in Condeduque's Sala de Bóved

La Menesunda According to Marta Minujín

Nov 18 to Mar 8, 2027

This exhibition reconstructs Marta Minujín's seminal 1965 immersive installation, 'La Menesunda'. Originally created with Rubén Santantonín, the work transformed the spectator-artwork relationship by replacing contemplation with multi-sensorial experience and active participation. The version presented at the Museo Reina Sofía is based on research from 2015, conducted in collaboration with Minujín, to recreate the environment from archival materials. 'La Menesunda', whose name in Argentine slang means 'mixture' or 'confusion', encompassed diverse artistic mediums and sensory stimuli, blurring the lines between art and daily life. It reflected 1960s avant-garde concerns such as mass culture,

«DESCENDER»

Feb 18, 2027 to Jun 13, 2027

Free

The exhibition 'Descender' explores the paradox of descent leading to light and emergence, drawing inspiration from María Zambrano's idea that 'thinking is descending.' It proposes an experience of traversing a space that is not fixed but constantly molded and displaced, encouraging visitors to occupy it differently through encounters. The works by the featured artists construct conditions for these encounters, focusing on communication with other spheres and entities, and reorganizing the community through rituals that possess their own legitimacy and logic. The exhibition acknowledges ontological systems beyond modernity, such as the concept of ineffable Eastern magic, which prioritize exp
