The candles will be lit tomorrow, Friday, July 23, from 21:30 p.m., to illuminate the atrium of the hermitage of the Virgen de las Vegas de Pedraza, in the town of Requijada, located in the municipality of Santiuste de Pedraza . There, in the middle of an intimate atmosphere, the last activity proposed by the Diputación Bibliobuses Reading Club will take place: a poetry recital in which, while the group of Trescasas Nomada del Verso will narrate the events of the Romance de los Community members, the Collara School of Dulzaina de Cuéllar will be in charge of putting music to the words.

"We have thought that it would be good to complement the activity of the Reading Club with other initiatives, especially now that outdoor events can be organized", point out the librarians Pilar Martín, María Jesús Artalejo and Esmeralda Arribas. They, together with the residents of Requijada, who have collaborated at all times with the organization of this concert-recital, have been in charge of preparing the stage for the performance, which, as they point out, will be free and open to the public; whether or not they are members of the Reading Club. "We would like people to be encouraged to join the Club, especially men, who are not many, and we believe that with complementary activities like this we can reach more people," they explain, indicating that among the planned initiatives is the visit to the exhibition 'The Communards on the scaffold', shows that can be visited since April at the headquarters of the Cortes of Castilla y León.

The reason, both for the celebration of the recital and for the future visit to the Cortes, is none other than the fact that the next session of the Club, which meets online periodically, will feature the book 'El blazon de la Reina ', by Francisco Egido from Segovia, a historicist thriller, framed in the War of the Communities, in which the protagonist, Juan Manuel López-Atienza, faces the challenge of discovering the truth about the blazon of Queen Juana de Castilla, whose existence no one has been able to prove, but which is said to have changed the history of an entire empire. This virtual meeting will take place on Monday, September 20, but until then the librarians of the Provincial Council hope that the Segovians will be encouraged and want to accompany them in the poetic recital tomorrow Friday.

The Councilor for Culture and Tourism, Maite Sánchez Barahona, has released a preview of what will be the Cuellarano cultural summer. Music, theater, dance and cinema will fill the different spaces that in Cuéllar act as a stage and mix history, heritage and the cultural proposal. One of the most powerful initiatives is that of Noches del Mudéjar, which year after year brings together an audience eager to return to the three cultures that coexisted in Cuéllar in the most representative settings. The first session will take place on Thursday, July 15 in San Esteban with 'Jota Martínez', at 22.00 pm. It will be followed by the session on the 22nd with 'Umeya' in the Grammar Study, and the one on August 5 in San Andrés with 'Audi Filia'.

Another of the most appealing proposals this summer is the now classic summer cinema in the Plaza de Toros. On Wednesday 21 and July 28, 'Omward' and 'Mighty Minds' will be screened respectively, at 22.00 pm. On the 4th, 'Daggers from the back' will be screened, to close this cycle with 'Flying together' on Wednesday, August 11.

The Diputación de Segovia collaborates one more year with this initiative to bring quality culture to the Northeast region of the province

To the main natural enclaves of this attractive region such as the gorges of the Riaza and Duratón rivers, the Sierra de Ayllón, or the Acebal de Prádena in the Sierra Norte de Guadarrama, there is another no less striking, the "Multicultural Enclave"

An open space to discover new cultural diversity throughout the year on a territory that is alive, because it grows and develops naturally from the performing arts, music, literature or traditions themselves as a seed to cultivate the best local product "the human "

Third consecutive season for a project that works from the proximity and closeness with mayors, councilors, associations and educational centers. And that this significant summer has been consolidated from the "greatest responsible opportunity" in the face of the pandemic.

The idea moves by semesters based on four thematic blocks; "Spring of Music, Summer of Circus, Autumn of Theater and Winter of Magic". Seasonal references that embrace the central themes, but also have a place for narratives, stories, clowns, puppets or dance, with a focus always directed towards all audiences.

This effort in favor of equality regarding access to culture in rural areas is faithfully adapted to the needs and concerns of the territory, and is possible thanks and above all to the efforts of the participating municipalities, the European Leader funds managed by the Codinse Local Action Group, Diputación de Segovia and the work of other people involved, who tenaciously continue forward with incessant and growing thinking.

The closest thing to a "traveling regional festival" that will take place from July 3 to September 25, is started, marked by its strong identity and the artistic quality it offers as usual, on a wide theme dedicated to a determined summer to be splendid in the Northeast of Segovia.

A total of 10 locations, 20 shows and 2 educational activities. To which we must also highlight the presence of 15 companies from different origins, including Segovia. Acrobatic circus and juggling, traditional Castilian music, puppet theater, percussion, body music, magic, clown and a lot of humor to regain belonging, joy and life on our social and family environments.

Ready to start this appetizing cultural tour, we will go to Prádena, a traditional place of commerce and herding, to present two great jugglers who know how to combine their specialty with music and comedy very well. In the middle of the tour and from Seville, Los Hermanos Infoncundibles pure diabolical energy will pass like a lightning bolt on stage.

With more calm and downstream through the Riaza valley, we will be attracted to Cerezo de Abajo, Ayllón and Languilla by the enchantment of two violins and two voices, melodies from a Castilian repertoire of dulzaina and vocal that CastellanAs reconverts to take it to a more ground contemporary adopting a more experimental model, but maintaining at all times the heartbeat of the Castilian root. Further down we will discover Maderuelo, the small medieval fortress, which, unopposed, will fall before the folkloric wisdom of a very captivating Segovian, Jesús Parra.

Exploring places once traveled by El Cid, we will arrive at Fresno de Cantespino where we will find a very segovian rogue, La Pícara Locuela, always ready to surprise us with her coiled puppets hidden behind the "Faldón de la locura"

From ancient Roman sites, Castillejo de Mesleón. Here, Chimichurri, a peculiar circus company striving to caricature extremely skilled street characters, will roam your attention.

Looking over the extensive Segovian countryside we will see Grajera, a friendly and vibrant place, ideal to welcome Nenacaracol, a company descended from the well-known Mayúmana, percussionists who love rhythm and musical games through everyday objects and the most precious instrument, our body and voice. .

Between heaven and earth the Sierra de Ayllón, with its colorful red and black villages and where another like Riaza wants to shine among the natural thicket with "Emportats", a fantastic journey for the senses that will be offered by the renowned contemporary circus company La Trócola Circ on his tour from Alicante.

Undoubtedly, everything in this territory is magical, as will happen in Ribota at the hands of Gele Rodrigo, a musician and comedian magician, a "native species born in Segovia" very unique to observe, listen and dream.

Even repeating the traveling experience to the northeast of the province of Segovia is possible, because most of these places offer second and third opportunities to have no excuses and enjoy a good food for the soul, the culture that is born in the middle of nature.

It will take place on Saturdays, July 17, 24 and 31, and on August 7 at 11.00 a.m., with a symbolic price of 2 euros. The first visit will be in San Andrés, the second in San Esteban, in the third visit the Chapel of La Magdalena and the Chapel of Orphan Girls, and the last will be in the parish church of San Miguel. The Councilor for Tourism explained that all the covid measures for these activities are still being maintained, and the capacity is reduced to 20 people, so it is recommended to book in advance at the Tourism Office; Reservations will have priority if the capacity is exceeded. The mayor publicly thanked the work of Juan Carlos Llorente, "disinterested and only for the love of his people, and what he transmits must be made known to the youngest so that they develop a greater awareness about heritage." Sánchez recalled unpleasant events such as graffiti, removal of materials and "regrettable" acts that speak "of the lack of perspective and value of his heritage." That is why he encourages young people to know their heritage in this way. Llorente affirmed that there are more and more those who are encouraged to these visits and come with foreign friends so that they know the heritage wealth of Cuéllar.

The history teacher announced that it will be the baroque that will focus the explanations of this edition in each place, but without forgetting the most representative of each place even if it is located in another movement. Llorente commented that this year he will speak of the presence of a baroque in the town that was not abundant or that is located in the proto-baroque of the seventeenth century. He anticipates that all the richness that the baroque brings will be visible in the main altars of San Andrés, San Esteban, La Magdalena, Orphan Girls, with very accentuated rococo aspects, and the main altar of San Miguel, "one of the most spectacular in Castile. and León ”. In addition to the main altars, other Baroque ones accompany each temple, where the most representative images will also be analyzed, as well as the paintings. "We will pay attention, as it cannot be otherwise, to elements of each place, such as the Christ of La Encian in San Andrés, the tombs of San Esteban," said Llorente.

The departure of the visits will be made at each point to visit each day, at the scheduled time. The use of a mask will be mandatory when dealing with group activities and all measures will be respected to safeguard the safety of the attendees and that they enjoy the experience every Saturday.

"Wounds. Mujeres de Federico García Lorca ”and“ La sombra del Tenorio ”protagonists this week in the IX Amateur Theater Contest that is being held in Sepúlveda.

          Yokauli Scene with “Wounds. Mujeres de Federico García Lorca ”and El Duende de Lerma with“ La sombra del Tenorio ”will be the companies in charge of filling the stage of the Breton Theater with life this weekend.

            This Friday the curtain of the Breton Theater of the town will open again to continue with the IX Amateur Theater Contest "Siete Llaves", in this case, with two companies whose shows and works have been highly valued and awarded throughout the entire Spanish geography.

            On Friday, June 11 at 21:00 p.m. at the Breton Theater in Sepúlveda, YOKAULI SCENE brings us "Wounds. Federico García Lorca's women ” de Federico García Lorca.

To understand Federico through the universe of his women: this is the objective of this montage. Create a scenic and poetic space based on an encounter between the poet and his five heroines. Elaborate a dramaturgy so that creatures and creatures coexist in the same creative habitat with a single limitation: each and every one of the words spoken is from Lorca. The conflicts of the characters are intertwined with poems, fragments of interviews and reflections that Lorca leaves throughout his dense work.

With this montage we get closer to some of its most relevant female characters and we do it from our own perspective, but also with the eyes of its author who revives his five "heroines": Bodas de Sangre's mother, Mariana Pineda, Yerma, Doña Rosita and Bernarda.

The play is structured in two acts. In the first, there are five paintings, one for each female character, in which their vital conflicts are presented. In the second, the five paintings reveal the outcome of his tragedy.

Five wounded women. Five women torn by the dagger of life, love and death. Five gasps. Silenced. Because "there are things locked behind the walls that cannot change because nobody hears them ... but if they suddenly came out and shouted, they would fill the world". And that underground cry, that irrepressible desire for freedom, life, love without limits, is what moves the five women, until they hit the wall of mediocre, petty and oppressive reality that surrounds them, or against their own inherited limitations generation after generation.

The origin of the term Youkali is found in an "instrumental habanera tango" composed by Kurt Weill and belonging to the stage music of "Maria Galante" novel by Jacques Deval adapted to the theater in 1934 and later to the cinema. Initially it was instrumental but in 1935 Roger Fernay added a lyrics that spoke of the unattainable longings symbolized by an island called Youkali.

They steal the title from this inspiring tango to name their project with the illusion of creating their own desert island and filling it with passions, desires, hope, pleasure, light, liberation and LOVE FOR THE THEATER. They want to give a happy ending to this tango and, moving away from utopia, make Youkali a reality, the land of dreams compliments, the island where lost and forgotten longings are realized, where there are no problems, routine, worry ... Where the heart takes you.

YOUKALI SCENE is the dream of theater lovers with the same need: TO ACT, to bring out all the characters that they carry inside, that have remained in them throughout their lives, that have lent them their emotions, that have made them mature… and DISCOVER everything that awaits us, that will leave its mark on us and for those of us who will live in Youkali.

"The theater is a school of tears and laughter" ... only a genius like Lorca could sum it up so poetically.

            On Saturday, June 12 at 21:00 p.m. THE ELF OF LERMA presents the work to us "The shadow of the Tenorio" de José Luis Alonso de Santos.

"The Shadow of TENORIO" It is one of the main titles in contemporary Spanish dramaturgy, produced by José Luis Alonso de Santos, one of the most distinguished Spanish creators.

Alonso de Santos, based on the "famous myth" of Tenorio, elaborates a tender and emotional story based on the vicissitudes of an old actor, one of those who have spent their lives touring towns in the interior of the country, he lives his last days in a poor hospital, where a nun who has taken a vow of silence assists him.

The character that this old actor has played throughout his life is none other than that of Ciutti, Don Juan Tenorio's assistant, and it is natural that at that difficult moment in his life, that role would return again and again to his memory, but he will explain again and again to the silent nun that all his life he really wanted to play the character of Juan Tenorio and that for the only and last time he is going to represent him for her.

This is how the current viewer is faced with a game with different levels of fiction, proposing to the public a theater game in the theater ... The texts of Don Juan Tenorio by José Zorrilla speak, or what the old actor invents in his senile delirium, or the playwright Alonso de Santos speaks ...

This whole game is wrapped in a high level of humor and poetry and an exceptional acting job carried out by the first actor. Luis Orcajo "The goblin of Lerma", accompanied by the actress Round Consuelo.

The asociación The Duende of Lerma, was founded in the summer of 2010 and, although it is a recently created company, it was already born with 30 years of experience on stage, since the actors that make it up come entirely from the La Hormiga theater group. Luis Miguel Orcajo, main actor of The goblin of Lerma, debuted on stage in 1980. From that date to the present day, it has represented works by a wide range of authors and multiple characters and have received numerous awards in the different competitions that are held in our country.

In this way, the poster of the remaining weeks of the Contest is as follows:

• Friday June 11: "Wounds. Women of Federico García Lorca ”YOUKALI SCENE (Author: Federico García Lorca)
• Saturday June 12: "The shadow of the Tenorio" THE ELF FROM LERMA (Author: José Luis Alonso de Santos).

The series 'Las veladas de San Francisco' returns to the town this summer, with a format in which jazz, blues, soul and rhythm and blues will be the protagonists during Friday nights in July and August. This was pointed out by the Councilor for Culture, Maite Sánchez, who pointed out that this format is being recovered after the good reception last year, but also as a commitment by the government team to San Francisco as an «axis of interest for this town, as a building and also as a cultural center ”, thus making reference to the future purchase of the adjoining spaces to turn the area into an auditorium.

The nave of the church will once again be filled with music by the hand of five groups "which I think will delight all those music lovers," explained Sánchez, noting that advancing the program is due to the intention of the team government to promote and accustom the population to online or advance sales, since there will always be a physical space to purchase tickets. "We understand that it is very important, especially at a time like this, to plan our leisure activities a little and we also want to get people used to it, but there will also be box office sales on the same day."

'Las Veladas de San Francisco', whose concerts will take place from 22:00 p.m., will begin on July 23 with the group Saxos del Averno, which emerged as a quartet of saxophones that accompanied the rock group Ginferno, among others and that gradually became a group that has established itself as an independent band, making their own music, with large doses of rhythm and blues with Latin and rock touches, a concert that «I think that many students of the School of Music They are going to love it.

It will be followed on Friday, August 6 by "a hilarious group", that is, Hula Baby, a group that moves in styles such as frat-rock, rock & roll, surf and twist and that in their performances manage to transmit great energy and wanting to have fun, all with a careful appearance on stage, with the formation combined with a shirt, tie and frames of pasta glasses.

Koko Jean & The Tonics will fill San Francisco with the most classical soul music on August 13. The group, made up of four of the most critically acclaimed musicians on the Barcelona scene, proposes a concert that includes soul, rhythm, blues and Groove. Their recording debut was last year with a four-track album whose aim is to show some of the hits created by the group that have so far made fans dance and scream at their concerts.

Finally, "a little closer to pop-rock, but without losing perspective of the Las Veladas axis", The Kleejos Band arrives, which will close the cycle on August 20. It is a group that, throughout its scarce five years of existence, have presented their personal vision of rock and roll in multiple cities and important festivals, writing brilliant songs, full of southern flavor and authentic American sound. Its hallmarks are innovation from tradition, admiration for the great and immense respect for the public.

Europe has forgotten the Nazi holocaust, but now, for the first time since the end of the war, the extermination camp survivors will once again share the same space as their torturers, albeit this time on equal terms.
Or maybe not?
To achieve justice, those men and women must relive the greatest horror ever created by man, face to face, after twenty years of silence, although not all are willing to break it. Will everyone be prepared to accept what they were? On whose side are those who should judge this process? Will they really be able to face the truth or is it all a mockery to wash consciences? Who among the characters could have been us? Would we have been victims or executioners? What decisions would we have
taken? In these questions the theater is speaking to our faces.
La Lengua Teatro was established as a stable company in 2005 and performed Don Juan Tenorio. IN 2007, it premiered Certificate of Existence on texts by Mario Benedetti. Later, El hombre de en medio would arrive, based on stories by Karel Capek, Money, A love story in times of criris, an update of Aristophanes' Pluto, Miguel Mihura's Three Top Hats, Thomas Vinterberg's Celebration, and Romeo and Julieta by William Shakespeare, the last four premiered at the Liceo Theater in Salamanca.
Now La Lengua Teatro presents La Indagación, tackling epic documentary theater for the first time, sifted, yes, by the group's own scenic vision and being faithful to the stamp of social criticism that has characterized this company since its inception.

On Saturday, June 5 at 21:00 p.m. the public will be able to enjoy the funny comedy “El lindo Don Diego” by TEATRO ARCÓN DE OLID in Valladolid. El Lindo Don Diego is possibly one of the funniest comedies of the Golden Age. Moreto perfectly portrays the type of counterpart of the leading man, what has been called the “figurine”. Extravagant, smart to the ridiculous and absolutely self-conscious, Don Diego lives in a world that he created
without interacting with others and without wanting to become aware of reality.

Don Diego lives in Burgos, as does his cousin Don Mendo. The two are called to Madrid by Don Tello, their uncle, to marry their daughters: with Inés, Don Diego. With Leonor, Don Mendo. Agnes, horrified by this marriage and in love with don Juan, tries to dissuade the clumsy suitor. Don Diego, devoid of feelings and convinced in his blindness that she (like all women) is mad with love for him, magnanimously resolves to give his cousin his hand, from whom he expects a good dowry.
The house servants, Mosquito and Beatriz, together with don Juan, contrive a brilliant deception to make him desist from his purpose. Thus, Beatriz disguises herself as a countess, and succeeds in making Don Diego fall in love with her and promises her marriage, with which he hopes to "be fond of" and not to "get rid of himself." Thus imprisoned by his selfishness and his lack of awareness of reality, Don Diego realizes that he has been the object of a terrible deception ...
The TEATRO ARCÓN DE OLID company was born in Valladolid in the spring of 1996 and is made up of 18 people, including actors and technicians who in most cases come from different theatrical groups or from environments related to the Theater. The quality of his work is endorsed by dozens of awards and mentions obtained over the years in the most prestigious Theater Competitions in Spain with all the works he has presented so far.

The theatrical version of 'Perfect strangers', a Spanish translation of the Italian play 'Perfetti sconosciuti', by Paolo Genovese, adapted by David Serrano and Daniel Guzmán, and directed by the latter, ends its tour next Saturday, June 12, at 20.30 pm, at the Menéndez Pidal Auditorium Theater in El Espinar. The play, an original and surprising comedy, stars Inge Martín, Álex Barahona, Olivia Molina, Juan Carlos Vellido, Elena Ballesteros, Bart Santana and Ismael Fritschi.

“When I was asked to direct Perfect Strangers in Theater, I asked what was the dramatic premise from which the story started and I was interested. I read the original text of the Italian author and I was attracted by the friendship story of a group of lifelong friends, the depth of the characters, the crazy situations, the many twists and the reflection that the author suggests on the use of mobile phones and the control it exerts over our lives. The plot line through which this work passes and the closeness of the story make this comedy a journey full of surprises with large doses of humor, but it also contains great humanity and depth in each of its characters ”, explains director Daniel Guzman.

'Perfect strangers' talks about how hyper-connected everyone is today and the lack of communication that really exists between people, among those who are closest or most important, as a partner or best friends.

“Beyond the narrative content and the sense of humor, this work questions behaviors and invites reflection: Should we share all our secrets? How far does the limit of our privacy go? Do new technologies help us or do they control our lives? ”Adds Guzmán. To achieve this, he has had the complicity of David Serrano with whom he has adapted the text. Serrano and Guzmán have previously worked on the play 'Dos Más Dos', also produced by Pentación.
