Iberiscènes launches its first edition at Théâtre El Duende in Ivry-sur-Seine, from 15 to 18 October 2026. Readings and discussions highlight Iberian and Latin American works, with a free closing event.

The Théâtre El Duende in Ivry-sur-Seine launches Iberiscènes, a festival dedicated to Iberian and Latin American theatrical writing, from October 15 to 18, 2026. Carried forward with the Mona Lisa Klaxon company, this first edition brings together staged readings, live music, and discussions around texts from Bolivia, Chile, Portugal, and Spain.

On October 15 at 8:30 p.m., the lineup features Denis Lavant and Amélie Dumetz in Aibalam – The Angel of the Defiled Annunciation, by Marcos Malavia. The production twists the Annunciation to explore the clash between a divine mission and human desire. The following evening at 8:30 p.m., Julieta, by Mateo Iribarren, follows a mother confronted with the repression of the Chilean dictatorship.

On October 17, two performances are lined up: Desumanização, by Valter Hugo Mãe, at 6 p.m., centered on a young girl who loses her twin sister; followed by Paraíso, by Inmaculada Alvear, at 8:30 p.m., about a man whose sense of self is unsettled after a heart transplant.

The festival will close on October 18 at 5 p.m. with Il était une fois un roi, by Oscar Castro, followed by a discussion about Chile yesterday and today, with Alfredo Cifuentes in attendance. This final event is free to attend, but reservations are required. The other offerings must be reserved separately through the theater.
