Rosalía, cartografía de ásperas ortigas
The Centro Dramático Galego and the Portuguese collective ASTA–Teatro e Outras Artes co-produce the play Rosalía, Cartography of Harsh Nettles, joining the celebrations of the 188th anniversary of Rosalía de Castro’s birth with the premiere of this production.
Under the stage direction and dramaturgy of Roberto Salgueiro, from Santiago de Compostela, and featuring four Galician and Portuguese actors, the two companies present a contemporary theatrical proposal that reflects the thought and legacy of the poet from Padrón. Drawing on texts—and above all, verses—from Cantares Gallegos, Follas Novas, and En las orillas del Sar, a unique literary script was developed during rehearsals to explore the enduring relevance of Rosalía.
The performance features Antía Cortegoso, Sérgio Novo, Alberto Medeiros, and Marta Casais, and gives prominence to a rich soundscape created with various instruments, choreography performed by the cast, and a stage design covered in flowers.

Festivals
The neighbourhood of Vistalegre celebrates its traditional festival of San Xoán from June 21st to 23rd.
June 23rd, the summer solstice, is the magical eve of “San Juan” (St. John’s Day), an ancient fiesta that is present in all cultures, marking the beginning of the summer, the time of greatest sunlight, the longest day in the year.
The members of the Cultural Association Cidade Vella have prepared various activities in several squares of Compostela’s Old Town to celebrate the most magical night of the year. There will be music, sardiñadas (grilled sardines), snacks, quitameigallos (ritual bonfires), dance groups, foliadas (traditional music gatherings), DJs and, above all, lots of partying.
Five days of music, dance, theatre, big-heads, reading, storytelling, science and much more in one of Santiago's most unique neighbourhoods.
