Auzo Eszena returns for the second season of its 16th edition, bringing eight non-professional performing arts shows—spanning magic, theater, humor, and dance—to civic centers across Vitoria-Gasteiz from October 18 to December 20, 2026. Backed by the municipal Strategic Culture Plan, tickets cost between 5 € and 7 €, available starting October 1.
Decentralizing Performance Art Across Vitoria-Gasteiz Neighborhoods
Running from October 18 through December 20, 2026, the municipal Auzo Eszena initiative provides local, non-professional artists with full access to municipal theater infrastructure, technical crews, and institutional promotion.
“Auzo Eszena is one of the programs that more deeply align with the objectives of the Strategic Culture Plan,” explains Sonia Díaz de Corcuera, Councilor for Culture and Education. “It provides stable momentum for local creation in Vitoria-Gasteiz while decentralizing culture by bringing it directly to the neighborhoods.”
Out of 16 total proposals selected for the 16th annual edition, the final eight productions hit the stage this autumn. Every single performance starts at 19:00 h inside civic center auditoriums.

Among this slate, contemporary dance piece Corrents stands out as a direct exercise in social visibility. Created by Maitane and Laura in collaboration with AZ Participación—an association specializing in suicide prevention in Vitoria-Gasteiz—the work uses surrealist choreography to dissect emotional shipwrecks among the youth. It confronts the crushing weight of social pressure, sensory overload, and the silent isolation leading to youth suicide.
