The theater program ’Estrénate’ fills the CICUS with emerging proposals.

theater play The works were selected from 215 applications, most of which were of high quality. The performing arts program 'Estrénate' of the Center for Cultural Initiatives of the University of Seville (CICUS) begins on February 1 with the participation of emerging professional artists and groups from all over the country. The 2024 call of this cycle, which has its beginnings since 2012 , has selected the proposals from among 215 applications which, according to the selection committee, have mostly stood out for their high quality. The CICUS has chosen the scenic works taking as a criterion the promotion of new proposals, facilitating the premiere of works that, due to the novelty of its proposal or its components, do not have previous facilities for their inclusion in other programs of the territory. Also valued are the most emerging proposals and those that seek the socialization of artistic creation, as well as the participation or integration of members of the University of Seville university community or recent graduates. February opens the program with The Followers, a company of young women with a feminist perspective who present 'Cry Babies' , a fiction that addresses the relationship between education, society and violence. Produced by Málaga Procultura, Teatros de Málaga and Factoría Echegaray, the Basque-Andalusian author, director and playwright Iosune Onraita brings 'Del fondo del río' , with a "personal and deeply symbolic language".
