They say there are people who think about the Roman Empire several times a week. Well, you no longer have to imagine it: ROMA: Forbidden Fights is coming to the Hipódromo de la Zarzuela on June 26, 28, 29, and 30, and tickets are selling out fast. The arena will only be set up for four nights. If you don’t want to miss it, get your tickets here.
During those days, the Hipódromo transforms into a veritable Colosseum: an arena where various fighters face off in spectacular bouts , amid tension, strategy, and endurance. A sort of dance of life and death in which every move counts and where Caesar’s thumb decides the final fate: mercy or condemnation? That’s ROMA: Forbidden Fights.
The public’s response has led to the arena being expanded. Following the initial ticket sales, ROMA: Forbidden Fights has now added a new date in Madrid and extended this transformation of the Hipódromo de la Zarzuela into a Roman Colosseum to include the night of Friday, June 26. More fights, more tension, and a new opportunity to step into an arena where every decision can change everything.
From the arena to the final bout
Then, the action—and our attention—focuses on the arena. ROMA: Forbidden Fights is a theatrical show where the story begins with all the splendor of the Empire: Caesar enters, the crowd cheers, and the first bouts set the pace for games that seem to be under control. But that calm doesn’t last long.
What begins as an orderly spectacle falls apart when two prisoners rebel and turn the arena into something much more brutal. From there, the narrative escalates: challenges, confrontations, and decisions that no longer depend on Caesar. The tension mounts. There are no longer any rules or honor—only the instinct for survival.
