From 5 to 26 February 2022 - Music and Culture Municipal Auditorium (Los Montesinos)

Wednesday 2 February- UA Auditorium - 7 pm- €10 - in Spanish.

For the first time, Sevillian company Atalaya delves into the universe of Molière and pays tribute to him, in celebration of the 400th anniversary of his birth. Atalaya's "The Miser", in musical style, includes twenty songs, spices up the French playwright's text with continuous references to the present day, changes the names of the characters for those of recognisable figures of our country. It constitutes a serious critique of the hypocrisy and misery of the powerful, as was the original text in 1668.

From 2 February to 15 June - UA Auditorium - 7 pm.

A poetry recital, a tribute to Miguel Hernández, by Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, "El avaro" by Atalaya Teatro, "Adiós dueño mío", directed by Magüi Mira, two dance shows, by Marta Carrasco and Asun Noales, the zarzuela "La Rosa del azafrán", four performances of the Valencian Music Festival Sonora and concerts by Arthur Caravan and the jazz duo Ramona Horvath & Nicolas Rageau.

Las junglas, ceibas, manglares del artista cubano Elio Rodríguez no hablan ni de arte ni de naturaleza, sino de identidad afrocubana, sin pasar por el tamiz occidental. Una identidad que se muestra indómita, feroz, enraizada en la tierra, impetuosa y desbocada. Sus pinturas, dibujos, bocetos, vídeos y, especialmente, sus esculturas blandas, son un divertimento, un juego de volúmenes, texturas y colores en el que las formas se entrelazan, se rozan, gozan e invaden cada rincón del espacio.

From 21 January to 11 February- Alicante City Venue (San Fernando 40) - 8:15 pm.
