ButacaZero launches 'A Velada de Londres' tribute to playwright Manuel Lourenzo in A Coruña

ButacaZero will stage a new production titled “A Velada de Londres” as a homage to the late Galician playwright Manuel Lourenzo. The play, directed by Xavier Castiñeira, adapts Lourenzo’s text that re‑imagines the Dracula myth with a poetic, Victorian‑style vision. It will premiere on 4 September at the Teatro Rosalía Castro in A Coruña, Spain.

The performance features live music by soprano‑violinist Esperanza Mara, who will sing and play the original score. An exhibition on Lourenzo’s life and work will be displayed in the theatre’s lobby on the day of the show, offering audiences insight into his legacy. The production follows ButacaZero’s earlier success with “Iribarne” and aims to bring Lourenzo’s celebrated texts to a wider audience.
