What’s being read in the club
The dramatic reading club explores «Juego de noches. Nueve obras en un acto», Paloma Pedrero’s 1999 collection. The book brings together nine short plays in a single-act format, characterised by direct and intimate language. According to the Cátedra edition, the works tackle universal themes of contemporary society from a feminine perspective, with stories delving into relationships, identity, and everyday conflicts.
Who’s leading the session
The activity is led by Isabel Caballero, Víctor Huertas, and Paqui Martínez, though their specific roles in the club’s dynamics aren’t detailed. The event is aimed at adults aged 18+ and is free, with no prior registration required.
Format and focus
The reading club centres on the theatrical analysis of the texts rather than their stage performance. Pedrero’s plays, known for their depth and concise style, allow participants to explore both the literary content and the interpretative possibilities of each piece. A key figure in contemporary Spanish theatre, the author uses a close, accessible tone to reflect complex realities in short formats.
