Alcorcón's cultural agenda kicks off this Friday, May 22, with the theatrical performance ‘The Barber of Picasso’ at the Buero Vallejo Theater at 8:30 PM. The play, produced by the company Amor al Teatro and starring Pepe Viyuela and Antonio Molero, recounts the relationship between Pablo Picasso and his barber, two Spanish Republicans exiled in 1950s Paris.

The comedy draws inspiration from the friendship between the Malaga-born painter and his hairdresser Eugenio Arias, united by nostalgia, a passion for bullfighting, and political commitment, exploring the era's cultural clashes.

Beyond the theatrical offerings, the family-friendly Friday includes the reading animation workshop ‘The Spell and Charm Book of the Beautiful Witch’ at the José Hierro Library at 6:00 PM, aimed at children aged four and up. Admission is free until capacity is reached.

On the same day, at 7:00 PM, the Puppet Center will inaugurate the exhibition ‘The Royal Machine: Soulless Actors. A Thousand Years of Puppet Theater in Spain’, a journey through the history of puppetry in the country. It will feature the participation of Jesús Caballero and playwright José Sanchis Sinisterra.

The weekend brings more dance and music. On Saturday, May 23, at 7:00 PM, the Margarita Burón Cultural Center will host the presentation of the book ‘Language and Anti-racism’ by professor José L. Magro (Meswy), with contributions from journalist Lucía Mbomío and communicator Youssef Ouled.

Also on Saturday, at 7:00 PM, the Viñagrande Civic Center will present ‘Pending Connection’, a scenic project by CaraBdanza and Cruz Roja addressing the digital divide.

The agenda concludes on Sunday, May 24, at 12:00 PM with a performance by the Municipal Band of Alcorcón at the Buero Vallejo Theater.

Until May 29, the exhibition ‘Zambra’ by Laura Mora Peñalver, featuring glass pieces, will be open at Las Vitrinas of the Los Pinos Cultural Center.
