What’s being performed
«La virtud del bien» is a production by Explora Teatro inspired by the life of Virtudes Cuevas, a Valencian teacher who fled to France during Franco’s dictatorship. The company uses her biography as a starting point for a more personal exploration: on stage, a playwright investigates Virtudes’ life and, as she delves deeper, finds herself questioning her own story and that of her country.
The piece weaves together themes of memory, identity, migration, and exile. It raises questions about what we inherit and what we choose to be, and how much of our personal narrative stems from a shared past.
What kind of show it is
«La virtud del bien» blends dance, theatre, and performance into a single scenic language, where movement and text coexist to tell the story. It’s a piece of historical memory theatre that connects the Republican exile with today’s questions of identity.
Where and how many performances
Explora Teatro will stage six performances of «La virtud del bien» at La Máquina Teatre, on Calle Pare Jofré, between 20 and 29 November 2026. La Máquina is a dance and theatre school, company, and venue with just 55 seats, according to its website, creating an intimate experience between performers and audience.
