'Calisto' es un espectáculo unipersonal intrepretado por más de veinticuatro personajes. Calisto, el joven mozo de la Celestina rememora sus quinientos años de existencia, transcurridos a medias recorriendo Europa y sus escenarios, y a medias encerrado en el limbo donde los personajes imaginarios reflexionan.

Mientras intenta comprender su existencia y la del actor que cada vez lo encarna, nos relata los momentos cruciales de su andadura, las anécdotas cómicas y trágicas, los personajes reales o fantásticos que dieron sentido a su vida y a todo el período histórico que va desde La Celestina a Shakespeare.
Su historia es tambien la del teatro, pero sobre todo, la del conflicto entre los sueños y las realidades, entre el espíritu y la carne, visto desde un tono fundamentalmente irónico y humorístico.
El espectáculo tiene una hora y quince minutos de duración, y está dirigido a todos los públicos, pero fundamentalmente al adulto.
