La Encina

This theatre opened in 2002, located in Embajadores, joins the La Cuarta Pared, LaGrada, Plot Point and Estudio 2 venues to offer a wide range of small format productions that are characteristic of this multicultural and alternative neighbourhood. It also offers acting courses and workshops.

This theatre space has two halls: Hall 1, with a surface area of 160 square metres, which can accommodate audiences of up to 85 people (with 12 seats located off to one side) has been designed in the style of a lounge area that will make anyone who decides to visit it feel immediately at home. Before performances start audiences can soak up the ambience, which features warm rugs, comfy seats and an old piano; and Hall 2, a space for 50 spectators with a double front and a comfortable dressing room.

La Encina Teatro first opened in Andalusia in 1992. During this initial formative stage, it provided a cultural platform for the performing arts in which different members of the group propose and run courses, educational conferences and street shows alternating with theatre productions. In 2002, La Encina Teatro moved to Madrid to embark on a new period, rethinking its creation to focus more on theatre productions, while also making room for educational and training initiatives.
