🕊️ Suicide Prohibited in Spring

by Alejandro Casona

 

🗓️December 12, 13 and 14, 2025.

 

A creation of the Teatro 8 Production Workshop — Break Your Fourth Wall — After months of creative work, research, and theatrical experimentation, the Teatro 8 Production Workshop group presents its version of Prohibido Suicidarse en Primavera (Suicide Prohibited in Spring), an original adaptation created by the project's directors, Jessica Álvarez Diéguez and Elena Medina. Based on Alejandro Casona's classic text, we have constructed a new perspective where humor, tenderness, and absurdity coexist. In this version, we explore the boundaries between life, desire, and the search for meaning. The Production Workshop is part of Break Your Fourth Wall, an acting training program for adults where each student actively participates in the creation of a play: from acting to staging, costumes, and character development. More than a performance, this show is the result of a living process of learning, collaboration, and a love for theater.
