Creative expression on stage

The theatre has four halls with ongoing programmes: the Sala Maria Aurèlia Capmany, the Sala Ovidi Montllor, the Sala Sebastià Gasch and the Sala Pina Bausch, where smaller productions are staged. The large 12-metre-diameter dome that dominates the foyer is by the Mallorcan artist Miquel Barceló.

Right from the start, Mercat de les Flors wanted to be a stage benchmark in every type of creative expression: theatre, dance, music, performance and media art. And since then, directors such as Peter Brook, Luca Ronconi, Peter Stein, Mario Gas and Calixto Bieito, theatre companies such as La Fura dels Baus, Comediants, Els Joglars, La Cubana, Wim Vandekeybus and La La La Human Steps, and festivals such as ArtFutura, Àsia and Primavera Sound have indeed turned Mercat de les Flors into a benchmark for contemporary creation in this country.

Ciutat del Teatre

Mercat de les Flors is one of the facilities that make up Ciutat del Teatre, a theatre city with Plaça de Margarita Xirgu at the heart of the three theatre venues: Mercat de les Flors, Teatre Lliure and the Institut del Teatre.
