The summer festival La Lluna en Vers returns in 2026 to Mallorca with a program of 14 nights of open-air culture spread across different points of the island and an image marked by the eclipse of August 12, which this year inspires the visual and symbolic narrative of the project.

Teatre del Mar has presented its 2026 winter season with a program that consolidates its unique cultural model, based on the combination of contemporary creation, social theater, education, and artistic residencies. The program champions the stage as a space for critical thinking, community cohesion, and artistic risk-taking, with a focus rooted in the local area and open to social transformation. The season will open on January 17th with a concert that sets the tone for the cycle: Jazz Flamenco, featuring Toni Cuenca and Benji Habichuela. These two artists, whose careers have been linked to figures such as Paco de Lucía, María del Mar Bonet, and Buika, will present a performance that fuses jazz and flamenco through improvisation, singing, and dance, in a dialogue between musical universes that symbolizes the spirit of encounter and creative freedom that the theater aims to foster. The winter performance program combines major works and contemporary creation with productions of strong social content. Leading companies and artists such as Producciones de Hierro, La Impaciencia, Colectivo NINS, La Fornal de Espectáculos, Teatro Nu, Om Imprebís, and Toni Albà will participate. Titles such as Cyrano, Plum, Z/B (Zweig & Bernanos), Where do we come from? and 50 years of Memocracy, Among others, they create a diverse program that engages with the present through the stage.

The Riera building is hosting the 2nd Exchange Conference on Theatre and Literature for Social Transformation this Thursday. The aim is to highlight the links between research, literature, and theatre to address gender-based violence, trauma, emotional health, and ageism, and to foster the creation of emotional bonds and spaces for change. The UIB has brought together researchers and experts in literature, theatre, mental health, and social action for a day of analysis and debate on the transformative potential of writing and theatre, understood as tools for building more resilient, sensitive, and committed communities for social change. The research project Remlicat (Emotional Regimes of Contemporary Catalan Literature) and the group associated with the Institute for Research and Educational Innovation (IRIE), The Shape of Dreams, are the driving forces behind this initiative.
