Mijas Pueblo’s 39th Free Theatre Festival will see Yllana return.

The 39th Mijas Theatre Festival will take place from Thursday, 24 July to Sunday, 27 July at the Municipal Auditorium of Mijas Pueblo. It is a great opportunity for an evening filled with free performances in the open air.

The acclaimed theatre group Yllana will present humour and music as well as a social commentary.

Yllana opens the festival with Trash, a creative and energetic show exploring the theme of recycling using percussion, comedy, and movement. In a recycling facility, four quirky workers transform trash such as gas canisters into hilarious musical numbers. The show invites the audience to reflect on our society’s excessive consumption while delivering a family-friendly, contagious performance.

On the 26th of July, Yllana will return with War Baby. This sharp anti-war comic combines slapstick humor and witty storytelling. The show continues the festival theme, which combines entertainment and social criticism.

The festival, one of Andalusia’s longest-running theatre events, also features A Small Story with Héctor Alterio on July 25 and closes with A Pound of Flesh, a local adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, on July 27. The performances will be free of charge until the capacity is reached. This allows everyone to enjoy a cultural event. Do not miss Yllana’s creative energy at the Mijas Festival.
