En mitad de tanto fuego

In June 2026, the Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo will host En mitad de tanto fuego, one of the most outstanding works by Spanish playwright Alberto Conejero, directed by Xavier Albertí and performed by Rubén de Eguía. Arriving in Bogotá as part of Pride and Equality Month, the staging offers a powerful reflection on love, desire, identity, and memory through a contemporary lens inspired by characters from classical mythology. The play delivers an intense theatrical experience that connects universal emotions with current debates on diversity and freedom.

Rooted in poetic, deeply human writing, the production explores the scars of war, loss, and affection within the context of conflict. Rubén de Eguía's performance builds an intimate and moving narrative that invites spectators to reflect on vulnerability, resistance, and the need to recognize diverse ways of loving. The scenic proposal stands out for its simplicity, narrative strength, and unique ability to create a close bond with the audience.

The arrival of this production in Bogotá strengthens the city's international cultural lineup and expands spaces for dialogue around diversity and cultural rights. It is a wonderful opportunity to experience high-quality contemporary theater and connect with one of the most relevant voices in modern Spanish playwriting at one of the country's premier venues.
