The flamenco dance of María Pagés will inaugurate the new season at the Museum on September 28. "Óyeme con los ojos" is an intimate show, inspired by the poem by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Unique solo of the artist, sample her versatility on stage and her way of understanding flamenco as an evolving, contemporary and living art. It premiered in June in Madrid, to great critical and public acclaim.

A museum to visit every six months

As is now customary at the Museum, there are two major renovations each year. Its 14 exhibition rooms change in autumn and spring. The constant production that generates the center with current artists, make it a place of frequent visit , where there are also spaces to show the works of its Collection.

Thus, on October 18, the inauguration of "Big Bang Mariné" exhibition will occupy the entire leave floor of the building, with 7 rooms and more than 1,900 meters of exhibition space. It will present a wide selection of Oscar Mariné's work (award Nacional de design 2010), close to pop art, but also to the aesthetics of comics or film posters, exploring the relationship between design and artistic creation.

For his part, Juan Ugalde will present on October 25, "Public Works" sample , which brings together, for the first time, some thirty new works by the author. Ugalde has developed his production for the Museum based on photographs from the center's Collection, which refer to public works such as the construction of bridges, roads and lighthouses. Enlarged on canvases and mounted on metallic Structures , the historical photographs are thus integrated into Ugalde's pictorial work, which adds abstract strokes, small characters or anachronistic elements, bringing a grade of criticism and humor to the purely documentary reading of the photographic collections.

Finally, on November 8, photographer Fernando Maselli will inaugurate "Artificial Infinity"where he reflects on the aesthetic concept of the sublime and does so through images of mountain landscapes still virgin, untrodden by man. His photographs transmit a sensation of infinity, achieved in an artificial way.

Classics and new technologies at the Museum

The performing arts and music program will offer, in this next season, a quotation with the bequest of the classics updated in the contemporary scene and with the most current scenic languages that use new technologies to create new forms of expression in dance, music or audiovisuals.

Thus, after the contemporary flamenco of María Pagés, will come the Japanese Daito Manabeone of the most influential technological artists in the world today. Manabe, along with the choreographer and dancer Mikiko will present some of his work, in which dance and technology generate new forms of artistic creation.  

As every fall, classical theater will occupy an important space this season. Liuba Cid is the curator of the annual theater season. In this new edition, plays such as "La ternura"by Alfredo Sanzol, "Little Red Riding Hood. Lo que nunca se contó..." by Teloncillo Teatro or "Seasons of Isadora"by Beatriz Argüello and Hugo Pérez de la Rica. The exhibition halls will be flooded with dramaturgy with the dramatized reading of "La Fablilla del Secreto Bien Guardado".The Fablilla of the Well-Kept Secret"by Alejandro Casona. A theatrical make-up workshop and a wine tasting with comedy characters complete the cycle.
