Cap Butaca Buida turns 21 March into an unmissable date for those who love the performing arts and want to discover the city from another angle. Culture makes its way through Barcelona, accessible and close at hand, ready to surprise all audiences.

Cap Butaca Buida was born with the aim of democratising access to theatre in Catalonia. Every year, the initiative brings together theatres, companies and audiences to fill venues and bring the performing arts to new spectators. The proposal not only boosts the city's cultural life, but also encourages a diversity of formats and styles, from circus to contemporary drama. In this way, Barcelona reinforces its role as a cultural benchmark, committed to participation and collective creativity.
