On Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 7 pm, the Teatro Guiniguada in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will stage the staged reading La Coreana by the Canarian author Carla Verona as part of the programme Canarias Escribe Teatro and it is free to attend; tickets can be booked in advance via the Teatro Guiniguada website or at the box office. As places are limited, the organisers recommend booking early.
The reading follows Carla Verona’s text, which explores a mysterious disappearance: Elena has been missing for seven years, while her husband Sergio wrestles with guilt and uncertainty about her fate. What begins as a seemingly trivial request to return something develops into an obsession with finding answers. At the heart of the story is Sergio’s encounter with a shoemaker, through which the themes of guilt, absence and the compulsion to explain what remains unresolved unfold.
The production is by SESEA Producciones. Directed by Jon Arráez and Marta Fuenar, who are also part of the cast. Miguel Ángel Marcial and Virginia Arencibia will also appear on stage. Lighting is by Jonay Díaz . The reading is designed as a trial run for a new text and is seen as a step towards a possible future stage production.
The format builds on the work of Canarias Escribe Teatro, which has been fostering new voices in Canarian drama for years through workshops and reading series. Verona, born in Lanzarote in 1997, works at the intersection of theatre, music and text. With Delirio, she won the New Voices category at the 3rd Certamen Canarias Escribe Teatro in 2022; the play was staged in 2025.
The immediate occasion is the presentation of La Coreana at the Teatro Guiniguada. No information is currently available about further performances or a full production. The organiser refers people to its regular programme updates for future information.
