THEATER
- Live Teguise. The Invisible Diva
The musical La Diva Invisible is the culmination of the Live Teguise festival which, on the occasion of Pride Week, celebrates the diversity of the island. La Diva Invisible immerses us in the world of an artist who runs a café theater and who, after five years of absence from the stage, decides to return to offer a concert in tribute to a famous Italian singer.
However, her return is overshadowed by the unexpected presence of three of her ex-partners, which will awaken emotions and memories of the past. «La Diva Invisible» is a song to diversity that invites us to reflect on the importance of being true to ourselves.

Where: Convento de Santo Domingo, Villa de Teguise.

- Live Teguise. Antonia San Juan. Interview with my daughter Mari.
Through comedy and with cabaret reminiscences, Antonia San Juan will present in Teguise a show in which she makes a fierce criticism of machismo established as something natural and socially accepted.
And she achieves this with intelligent and close twists and occurrences, and with an interpretive capacity that leaves no one indifferent due to her original way of caricaturing reality.
When: Sunday, June 30 at 8:30 p.m.
Where: Convento de Santo Domingo, Villa de Teguise.
