DATE: Friday, October 9, 2026. TIME: 8:00 PM. PERFORMANCE: “El último presidente.” LOCATION: Teatro El Sauzal. GENRE: Theater. COMPANY: Teatro La República. APPROX. DURATION: TICKET PRICE: 12 € Regular and 9 € Special (for students, under 25 and over 65, and residents of El Sauzal). SYNOPSIS: Thirty years are not celebrated by looking only backward. They are celebrated by deciding which stories still need to be told. With El último presidente, Teatro La República does not commemorate an anniversary: it settles a debt. A debt to democratic memory, to the complexity of our history, and to a figure, Don Juan Negrín López, who has been systematically minimized, distorted, or silenced. From its beginnings, the company has understood theater as a space for debate in the deepest sense of the term: a place where the past dialogues with the present and demands the audience to take a stand. Bringing Negrín — last president of the Second Spanish Republic — to the stage is not a nostalgic gesture nor a comfy revisionist exercise. It is an uncomfortable decision. And precisely for that reason, it is necessary. The play does not aim to explain history, but to make it resonate. It offers neither a tidy nor soothing biography, but an immersion into the mind of a man trapped between extreme responsibility and exile, between scientific reason and the brutality of political collapse. In that fragmented, almost broken space, Negrín appears not as a statue, but as a dilemma: the misunderstood leader, the intellectual compelled to decide when every decision entails an irreparable loss. Because the past does not go away. It stays, it transforms, it returns. The shadows of exile, defeat, and forgetting continue to project onto our present. We live in times of noise, quick slogans, and simplified narratives, where complexity is uncomfortable and doubt is seen as weakness. In this context, El último presidente stands as an act of cultural resistance. Against oblivion, memory. Against polarization, thought. Against simplism, nuance. Theater, when it takes responsibility, does not indoctrinate: it unsettles. It does not provide closed answers: it raises questions. What does democracy mean today? What price does commitment have? What do we do, as a society, with those who defended reason when reason seemed lost? El último presidente is not just a play about Negrín. It is a warning. And also an invitation. To look at history without fear, to embrace its contradictions, and to understand that memory is not a luxury of the past, but an indispensable tool for the present. Because to resist today is to not forget. TICKET SALES:
