The tribute event will open in the Adolfo Llauradó hall on June 5th, his birthday, with the production Mysteries and Small Pieces, a work with which his counterpart Carlos Celdrán and the ensemble Argos Teatro pay tribute to him.

Meanwhile, on June 6th in the Raquel Revuelta Hall, the production The Act by the group Teatro del Caballero will take place, starring José Antonio Alonso, who is also the director along with Yoander Ballester Aguilar.
