On 18 July 1936, a military coup in Spain leads to a civil war that will continue to rage for thirty years. It’s the start of an economic, political and social regime that will remain in place for forty years, and that still has an impact on all layers and classes in Spanish society today. 1936, directed by Andrés Lima, confronts the country with a critical, controversial retrospective on this period. Written by Albert Boronat, Juan Cavestany, Andrés Lima and Juan Mayorga. 

“Andrés Lima directs this monumental performance at CDN, painting a lively image of the war, thanks to an impressive cast and a good balance between text and music.” – EL PAÍS 

Intermission with pintxos

This monumental performance lasts no less than four hours. Naturally, we have planned an intermission halfway through — a moment to stretch your legs, visit the restroom, or grab a bite to eat. During the break – and before and after the performance – we’ll be serving delicious pintxos, typical small sandwiches from northern Spain, along with sparkling wine or a Brussels made wildflower lemonade by Atelier 40. 

You can already order and pay for your pintxo and drink in advance (10 euros total). With your payment receipt, you can go straight to the pintxos stand without waiting in line. Avoid long queues at the counter and pre-order your intermission snack now!
