Essence


Event details

22 January 2026 until 22 January 2026

Ignacio García May made his theatrical debut in 1986, at just 21 years old, when he won the Tirso de Molina Award with Alesio, a comedy set in past times, which premiered the following year at the Teatro María Guerrero. Since then, he has developed his own writing, made adaptations and versions, and has been intensely involved in theatrical practice from various disciplines, in addition to carrying out significant educational work at the Resad, where he was director.

His dramaturgy is characterized by posing a critical reflection on reality, theater, and identity, always starting from the decisive influence of the classics, which can be seen in titles he has published or premiered such as El dios tortuga, Los vivos y los muertos, Sofía, Lalibelá, etc.

Essence is one of his most enigmatic works, a labyrinth of perceptions where reality wavers and becomes blurry. An invitation to question our own certainties. Pierre and Cecil, two old friends, meet again after many years. Their conversation, intermingled with memories and opinions, is punctuated by the wait for a mysterious author who is never going to arrive. Or perhaps has been there from the beginning?
