The VI Family Theater Cycle Continues with “La Casa por el Tejado”

A Heartwarming Journey Through Memory, Ghosts, and Family Bonds

Torrevieja’s beloved VI Ciclo de Teatro Familiar “Teatro para Todos” returns this Sunday, November 16, 2025, with a touching and imaginative production titled La Casa por el Tejado (Los Hilos de la Memoria). Set to take the stage at Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen at 18:30, this family-friendly play promises an evening filled with tenderness, nostalgia, and gentle wonder—perfect for audiences aged 5 and up.

Now in its sixth successful season, “Teatro para Todos” has become a cornerstone of cultural life in Torrevieja, bringing high-quality, accessible theater to families across the Vega Baja region. Organized by the Instituto Municipal de Cultura “Joaquín Chapaprieta”, the cycle emphasizes inclusivity, creativity, and emotional depth—values perfectly embodied in this latest production.

A Story That Heals: Synopsis of La Casa por el Tejado

The play follows a young woman who returns to her childhood village home to clear out the attic. What she finds is far more than dust-covered relics—it’s a portal to the past. As she sorts through forgotten objects, the ghost of her grandmother appears. But this is no horror story.

“It’s a story about memory. The memory of abandoned objects, which, like an invisible thread, connect those who lived with those who live.”

Through poetic storytelling, live music, and delicate visual theater, the production explores how everyday items—old photos, a worn dress, a cracked teacup—carry the emotional DNA of generations. The grandmother’s spirit doesn’t haunt; she guides. Together, they weave a tapestry of love, loss, and legacy that resonates deeply with both children and adults.

More Than a Show: Streaming for Hospitalized Children

In a heartwarming act of community solidarity, children in the pediatric ward of Torrevieja University Hospital will be able to watch the performance live via streaming. This initiative—made possible through collaboration between Televisión Torrevieja (TVT), the Hospital Universitario de Torrevieja, the Concejalía de Sanidad, and the Instituto Municipal de Cultura—ensures that even the youngest patients can experience the magic of live theater from their hospital beds.

This inclusive effort underscores the true spirit of “Teatro para Todos”: theater isn’t just entertainment—it’s medicine for the soul.

Behind the Magic: Production and Creative Team

Directed by Jesús Arbués and performed by Blanca Laínez and Laura de la Fuente, La Casa por el Tejado is a co-production between Corral de García and Viridiana Centro de Producción Teatral. Known for their innovative blend of object theater, shadow play, and intimate storytelling, the company has toured Spain with critically acclaimed family productions.

The visual design—featuring a suitcase transformed into a house—serves as both set and metaphor, inviting the audience to reflect on their own family attics and the stories hidden within.

Why This Play Matters in 2025

In an age dominated by screens and instant gratification, La Casa por el Tejado offers something rare: a quiet space to remember. It gently teaches children about empathy, grief, and the beauty of intergenerational bonds—without ever feeling heavy or didactic.

For parents and grandparents, it’s a mirror. For kids, it’s an adventure into the emotional lives of the adults who came before them. And in a community like Torrevieja—home to families from dozens of nationalities—this universal story of home and heritage feels especially poignant.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Family Theater in Torrevieja

With each season, “Teatro para Todos” grows in ambition and reach. What began as a local initiative has become a model for accessible arts programming along the Costa Blanca. Future cycles are already in planning, with rumors of international guest companies and bilingual performances to reflect Torrevieja’s diverse population.

As the curtain rises this Sunday, one thing is clear: in a world that often forgets to look back, La Casa por el Tejado reminds us that the past is never truly gone—it lives in the objects we keep, the stories we tell, and the love we pass down.

Don’t miss it. Tickets are just €5—and memories like these? Priceless.
