This year, Escenas do cambio is more than ever committed to transcending the physical limits of territories and stages for avant-garde stage creation. From 8 to 11 May, the festival brings artists from eight countries (Spain, Germany, Australia, Belgium, South Korea, Cuba, Portugal and Switzerland) to the Cidade da Cultura and the Salón Teatro to give shape to a programme consisting of 15 shows that hybridise dance, theatre, music and live arts.

Under the title Lostopía, the festival's artistic director, Kirenia Martínez Acosta, has designed a programme that invites us to immerse ourselves in the expanded present in which contemporary societies live, between nostalgia for what has been lost and the search for new identities, between resistance to change and the will to transform, where the arts blur all borders and allow us to imagine possible futures.

Escenas do cambio 2025 will feature 5 world premieres: the spectacular Baunsbak, brought by the Galician Elvi Balboa from Catalonia; Fuga para o tempo presente, by the Portuguese dance research duo Nuisis Zobop; the atypical concert by La María, o la espeluznante seducción de una canción de amor, proposed by the Swiss with Mexican roots Raissa Avilés; O intanxible e o non mundo, a unique musical proposal by Mercedes Peón that can only be enjoyed online through the screens, and Velaiquich, Amoorch! , the latest creation for non-conventional spaces by the brand new urban dance collective D'elas. The festival will also be the place where VACAburra's new work, Familia Nijinska, will grow in artistic residence and will be shown to the public for the first time.
