Spain is culture

This is a series of brief theatrical pieces that explain different episodes in history from the point of view of the protagonists.

The National Archaeology Museum offers a different way of describing the past through this series of 30-minute dramatised monologues. It will be the protagonists of history themselves who convey their experiences at first hand, hence making us their accomplices and witnesses.

The performance schedule is as follows:

"Nea, the last Neanderthal": a Neanderthal woman sets out to spend the night in a makeshift shelter, while she remembers how she got there, in a different world in which "strange human beings" occupy the same places where she expected to find her old family clan (25 of September, 9-23 October).
