Although sit in the cool is already an art in itself, in Ciudad Lineal from this Thursday will also be accompanied by theatrical performances on the occasion of Clásicos a la fresca: a festival with free tickets until full capacity that this year celebrates its eleventh edition from June 27 to next Sunday 30.
On this occasion, and given that the Parque Calero Auditorium is under construction, the festival will move to the courtyard of the Municipal School of Music Ciudad Lineal (calle de la Dalia, 4), which will host these theatrical performances spread over four days with sessions at 12h and 22h.
Three young companies will participate in the event -Serendipity Teatro from the district of Ciudad Lineal, Teatro a Bocajarro from Madrid and Teatro de Poniente from Salamanca- and veterans such as Teatro del Cuervo from Asturias, Compañía Ultramarinos de Lucas from Guadalajara and Compañía Teatro Cultural from Extremadura.
