This Wednesday, the play 'A Monster Calls' comes to the Soho Theatre in Málaga: performances, dates, and tickets

The Soho CaixaBank Theater in Málaga once again commits to deep emotions with the arrival of A Monster Calls, a touching production by LaJoven, returning to the Malaga capital after the success of its previous shows. This theatrical version, based on the famous novel by Patrick Ness and inspired by an original idea of Siobhan Dowd, premieres in Málaga as one of the most anticipated stage proposals of the season.

With performances scheduled from Wednesday, April 23 –a charity show–, this play offers the audience an emotional journey through the eyes of Conor, a 13-year-old teenager facing his mother's illness and a storm of overwhelming feelings. From midnight, the story transforms into a dreamlike fable when an ancient yew tree comes to life and appears before him as a monster that will guide him towards the truth he fears.

An adaptation that touches the soul

Under the direction of José Luis Arellano García, the staging presents itself as a scenic translation of the acclaimed English production A Monster Calls, adapted by Sally Cookson and Adam Peck, with a delicate, poetic, and visually striking staging.

The cast consists of a solid group of actors and actresses among whom Elisa Hipólito, Eduardo Aguirre de Cáceres, Iker Lastra, Roger Berruezo, Antonia Paso, Cristina Bertol, Nadal Bin, Leyre Morlán, Raúl Martín, and Fernando Sainz de la Maza stand out. All of them bring to life, with great interpretative intensity, the various characters that accompany Conor in his internal struggle to understand pain, loss, and love.

This play moves away from theatrical conventions to offer a deeply emotional stage experience, merging elements of physical theater, direct narration, and projections, allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the mind of the young protagonist.

Performances and schedules

A Monster Calls can be enjoyed at the Soho Theater on several days in April:

• Wednesday, April 23: a unique and charitable performance at 19:00.
