The 28th edition of Las Noches del Clunia takes place in November 2026 at the Teatro Principal in Burgos . The programme begins at 21.00 on each of four Fridays: 6, 13, 20 and 27 November. The organisers highlight humour, creativity and new forms of theatrical expression as the series’ common thread.
The series is jointly organised by the Ayuntamiento de Burgos and the Universidad de Burgos. Andrea Ballesteros, president of the municipal Gerencia de Cultura, called humour the unifying approach of this year’s selection and highlighted the mix of established names and fresh formats. On the university side, the Vicerrectorado de Relaciones Institucionales, Cultura y Proyección Social is taking the lead. The city council and university are thus pooling their responsibilities: the Gerencia de Cultura oversees municipal cultural programmes and use of the Teatro Principal, while the Vicerrectorado is responsible for cultural programming and links with the university community and wider city.
According to the announcement, the programme features productions by renowned companies: Yllana, Los Absurdos Teatro, Companhia do Chapitô and Compañía Ual·la. The series draws on physical theatre, music, dance and comic styles to appeal to different audiences. The selection aims to reach both the venue’s regular audience and university groups, combining theatrical forms that work without significant language barriers with formats that rely on timing and stage precision. The organisers will announce the specific titles, casts and further details of each evening separately in advance.
Las Noches del Clunia has been a fixture in Burgos’s cultural autumn for years. The partnership between the city council and university aims to strengthen the local theatre scene and raise the profile of contemporary performing arts. Bringing life to the city centre on the four November Fridays is another intended effect. The organisers’ latest announcement gave no estimates of expected attendance or the series’ budget.
The dates and times have been confirmed by the participating institutions. Information on advance ticket sales, concessions, age or access guidance and remaining tickets will be provided through the usual channels by the Universidad de Burgos, the Ayuntamiento de Burgos and the Teatro Principal. For enquiries, the organisers refer people to the official event announcements. The latest announcement was issued on 5 November 2026; any subsequent programme changes would be announced separately.
