The company Actúa Teatro will offer the performance of La Noche de los Finaos on October 29 and 31, on the occasion of the proximity of All Saints' Day. The objective is to honor the Canarian tradition of the finaos. This event, sponsored by the Cabildo de Lanzarote, presided over by Oswaldo Betancort, promises a journey through time through the customs and legends of the Canary Islands, with death as a guide.

The production stands out for its commitment to connect the public with the past and revive the ancestral traditions of the Canary Islands. The festivity of the finaos, known for its respect for ancestors and its relationship with death as a natural part of life, will be the center of this staging.

Jesús Machín Tavío, Minister of Culture of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, expressed that "La Noche de los Finaos is a living testimony of our history and a unique opportunity for residents and visitors to connect with our cultural roots on a magical journey through time and the memory of our islands."

This theatrical performance promises to be a moving experience that will remind viewers of the importance of keeping alive the traditions and legends that have shaped the Canarian identity. All those interested are invited to join this magical journey through time and culture in "La Noche de los Finaos".

The cast of actors that will bring this representative interpretation of the tradition of the islands to life includes talented local artists such as Joche Rubio, Luis Padilla, Rita Negrín, Atteneri Caro, Antonio de la Cruz, Beneharo Hernández and Germán Barrios.

The play will take place in two scenarios of great historical and cultural relevance in Lanzarote. On the one hand, the first performance date will take place in the Plaza de San Roque de Tinajo, on Sunday, October 29 at 7:30 p.m. Two days later, on Tuesday, October 31 at 8:30 p.m., it will be the turn of the Historic Site of the Villa de Teguise. Admission to these performances is completely free.

La Noche de los Finaos is possible thanks to the Cabildo de Lanzarote, with the collaboration of Felapyme, the Ayuntamiento de Tinajo and the Ayuntamiento de Teguise. The event demonstrates the commitment of these institutions to the preservation and promotion of the Canarian cultural heritage.
