ESCENA LANZAROTE.
THE NATURAL STAGES CREATED BY CÉSAR MANRIQUE HOST PERFORMING ARTS THAT SPEAK A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
Escena Lanzarote is a festival that offers the Performing Arts the unique natural spaces created by César Manrique for the Centres for Art, Culture and Tourism. The artistic proposals of stage creators merge with these environments that Manrique envisioned as a symbiosis between Art and Nature.
Through Manrique’s work, Lanzarote projects itself to the world as a unique fusion of Nature and Art. This is the legacy we embrace for our Festival — because it is what sets us apart, and because the creative possibilities offered by the natural settings of our auditoriums multiply the experience for both spectators and artists.
A COMPLETE
CULTURAL EXPERIENCE
The natural stages created by César Manrique host performing arts that speak a universal language
During the festival, the performing arts take over these spaces that form part of Lanzarote’s cultural heritage, offering audiences a unique and unrepeatable experience. A universal language will be the common thread throughout the programmed venues, so language will not be a barrier to enjoying each performance, allowing both visitors and residents to share and coexist in the same activities.
ESCENA LANZAROTE 2025 – 2026
On the horizon of Lanzarote, where the land stands as a testament to both strength and fragility, the Escena Lanzarote Festival opens its doors once again as a space for encounter and reflection. Here, locals and visitors alike share a place where the intimate becomes collective, and where the stories that define us intertwine with the most universal emotions.
As every year, in every edition, the festival offers much more than a simple parade of performances — it becomes a profound invitation to explore our humanity through the body, gesture, and word. We oscillate between moments of reflection and bursts of celebration, between remembering what has defined us and daring to challenge the boundaries we often believe to be immovable. In that dialogue, tradition feels alive — never static — as it converses with the avant-garde, embracing new forms and sounds that move and surprise us.
Escena Lanzarote thus defends a discourse in which the performing arts are a territory of research and freedom, a tool for transformation and intimate expression, a bridge between generations and cultures.
Beyond attending as mere spectators to a performance, here art feels close, tangible. It is as if we could hear the heartbeat of a past that inhabits every movement, every sigh — awakening emotions, stirring memories, and igniting a desire for transformation. This edition aims to be a space where memory intertwines with creativity, and where each performance invites us to embark on a journey that is both personal and collective.
Moreover, the festival not only features artists whose singular languages cross borders, but also commits to learning and exchange — because we know that learning is the nourishment of artistic evolution, and through it, of our own.
If you have ever felt that the performing arts are a mirror, here you will find multiple reflections of that complex and fascinating reality that is being and existing in the world. So, welcome to the experience of Escena Lanzarote — a place where art embraces us, questions us, and above all, invites us to keep celebrating together, with open hearts and awakened senses.
