Alcorcón will host from March 27 to 30 the Emergencia Festival, the first emerging theater festival in Alcorcón aimed at supporting creators and companies from the independent theater circuit.
The festival is organized by Cadáver Exquisito, an association based in Alcorcón with its own theater company, Entreparéntesis Teatro, in collaboration with the Department of Culture, Festivities, and Seniors, and in partnership with Revista Godot and the Association of Women Entrepreneurs in Alcorcón (AMEA).
The festival is also led by two women residing in Alcorcón: on one hand, actress and theater teacher Carmen Comendador, one of the founders of Entreparéntesis Teatro and a manager at Cadáver Exquisito; and on the other hand, journalist Berta Tapia, with 20 years of experience at RNE.
