El lugar de lo inservible

📍 Teatro Jovellanos · View on map

The Teatro Jovellanos hosts El lugar de lo inservible ('The Place of the Useless'), a stage piece by Proyecto Alicia and Meraki Cía that turns waste and rubbish into poetic material. The show starts from a simple but uncomfortable question: what happens to everything we throw away, and where does it all end up?

Through several characters — a child surrounded by plastic, memories drifting up from the seabed, recollections that surface among the debris — the piece weaves a choral story about the search for what is truly 'useless': a hug, a sincere look, real contact with another person. Physical theatre, imagery and text combine to talk about emotional recycling as much as material recycling.

We invite you to catch this production on Sunday 18 October at 18:30 at the Teatro Jovellanos in Gijón, part of the city's performing arts programme.
