The celebration of Semana Santa en La Laguna is one of the Archipelago's most traditional religious and cultural manifestations. Across several days, visitors have the opportunity to appreciate the rich and varied religious heritage the City possesses. During Semana Santa, processions formed by pasos of incalculable historical and artistic value take place, which together with the cofradías traverse the most emblematic streets in a display of authentic popular fervor. These pasos are examples of the imaginería and orfebrería that developed in the Islands and beyond over the last five centuries. Special significance attaches to the acts celebrated on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On Maundy Thursday, it is worth noting the opening of the chapels of the temples in order to show the Eucharistic monuments, true jewels of island goldsmithing. Good Friday is notable for the Procesión Magna, which takes place at five in the afternoon, and comprises the set of pasos and cofradías that traverse the City starting from the Santa Iglesia Catedral. Likewise, at twenty-two hours the Procesión del Silencio is held, which brings together the penitential brotherhoods and cofradías accompanying the Dead Lord, also from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, amid the attendees' deep reverence.

• 17:00 Procesión Magna — route from the Santa Iglesia Catedral, with the pasos and cofradías that traverse the city from the Santa Iglesia Catedral.
• 22:00 Procesión del Silencio — from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, accompanying the Dead Lord, amid the attendees' deep reverence.

Shows "Parallax" by Entredanzado. In 2023 the company chose to bet on a stage proposal led by Abigail Borges, "Parallax". This term is used in optics to refer to the displacement of an object caused by the real movement of its observer. Some arts theorists refer to it as the way of framing the past, always dependent on our positions in the present.

For this occasion we wanted to use the stage space as a vanishing point where the present and the past converge, with no hierarchies between the current and the primitive.

Synopsis.

We remain biologically the same as 160,000 years ago, even though we think we are far away and above those ancestors. We continue to cultivate love, joy and fear.

Eating around the fire, settling near the water, getting lost and finding ourselves.

We seduce and let ourselves be seduced, and on occasions we boast of keeping our most primitive and wild part. We continue to hallucinate and "dance in the cave". We continue migrating in search of better times, in search of a new subsistence. We practice barter and fight against the wind and the waves of the sea, dealing with inner storms, fighting the giant (universe and brain). We are creatures of habit, of exhausted repetition that leads us into trance, to connect with "the gods", to imagine deities that help us escape fear. We have turned almost everything that was fiction into real. We go beyond the Moon and dissect with robots. What we have not managed to answer is the eternal question: Who are we as a species and where are we headed? Still, one might ask: have we evolved as much as we think?

Schedule and location: On 10 Apr. 2026, from 20:30 to 21:30, Capitol Auditorium. All audiences. Price: 0.00.

• 20:30-21:30 Parallax by Entredanzado

The Cía 2RC Teatro presents «Maribel y la extraña familia» in El Sauzal. DATE: Saturday, 11 April 2026. TIME: 8:00 p.m. PERFORMANCE: «Maribel y la extraña familia». PLACE: Teatro El Sauzal. GENRE: Theater. COMPANY: 2RC Teatro. DURATION: 80 minutes. TICKET PRICE: 12 € Regular Rate and 9 € Special Rate (for students, under 25 and over 65, and residents of the municipality of El Sauzal).

SYNOPSIS: Maribel y la extraña familia is one of the most emblematic works of Mihura's theatre, one of the representatives of the renewal of contemporary humor that characterizes the Spanish comedy of the mid-20th century. Mihura was a screenwriter among other films of Bienvenido Míster Marshall, cartoonist and humorist, author of Tres sombreros de copa, an iconic work of post-war Spanish theatre and of a group of very successful titles.

Mihura's humor, fabulously represented in this piece of misunderstandings, is enjoyed as much in the dialogues, loaded with double meaning and irony, as in the situations of confusion, through which the characters and also the audience move without exactly knowing what reality is.

This family that warmly welcomes Maribel, will it hide something unconfessable? What lies behind the extravagant family and its “extraña” kindness? Is it reality or appearance? And regarding this plot so magnificently constructed, is it a situation comedy, a mystery thriller or a romantic comedy?

UnaHoraMenos presents Sáhara, la barca del desierto in El Sauzal. DATE: Saturday, April 25, 2026. TIME: 8:00 PM. PERFORMANCE: Sáhara, la barca del desierto. VENUE: Teatro El Sauzal. GENRE: Theater. COMPANY: UnaHoraMenos. DURATION: Approximately 85 minutes. TICKET PRICE: 12 € Regular and 9 € Special (for students, under 25 and over 65, and residents of the municipality of El Sauzal). SYNOPSIS: La Barca del Desierto tells the story of a Canary Island nurse who arrives in El Aaiún in 1970 intending to work temporarily at the local hospital. However, her life changes radically when she falls in love with Yahadih, a young Saharawi who joins the Polisario Front in the fight for the independence of Western Sahara. Her relationship with Yahadih, marked by secrecy and war, makes her a witness to Spain's withdrawal, the Moroccan occupation, and the repression suffered by the Saharawi people. In 1991, in the refugee camps, she is visited by Mercedes, a journalism student interested in documenting the conflict. Through their conversation, she revisits her journey through a territory marked by uncertainty, resistance, and loss. With a blend of love, betrayal, and resilience, La Barca del Desierto is a human testament to the personal transformation of a woman caught between two worlds and the struggle of a free people that refuses to disappear.
