The Aragonese musical comedy seen by over 500,000 returns to Teatro de las Esquinas for its 20th anniversary

Blending musical virtuosity with actor-led theatre, the universal appeal of "El Funeral" has broken through borders, bringing audiences around the world together—regardless of country—in a shared celebration that turns everyday life into an unforgettable celebration of life. With more than 500,000 spectators and around 2,000 performances worldwide behind it, Teatro Che y Moche and its "El Funeral" return to Teatro de las Esquinas to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of this unique comedy with one performance each month.

Explosive and mischievous characters, spectacular staging and live music, together with the unpredictability of improvisation, turn this "funeral" into an incredible experience that is difficult to describe for those attending. The exceptional and brilliant Ukrainian violinist Tereza Polyvka, alongside the outstanding cast of Spanish musicians and actors, make up an ensemble that will seek to revive the production’s comic and musical spirit.

A PRODUCTION WITH AN IMPRESSIVE TRACK RECORD

"El Funeral" is an original comedy featuring live music and theatre, where humor and spectacle merge to create a fresh and different production full of irony. Its unusual plot serves as an excuse to stage a well-coordinated concert with a spectacular, entertaining and varied repertoire, while also making room for playfulness and constant dialogue with the audience, making each performance unique and unrepeatable.

On this occasion, and in light of such an exceptional celebration, the company has introduced surprises and new musical numbers for all those loyal followers who, after two decades, decide to attend again or even see it for a third time, transforming the auditorium into a space for the theatrical action and spectators into unexpected actors in "El Funeral". With thousands of performances, it is undoubtedly one of the most widely performed Spanish productions of recent decades.

The first of these monthly performances will take place this Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. at Teatro de las Esquinas. Tickets are on sale at the box office and on the Teatro de las Esquinas website.
