Fully-equipped flat rentals for short stays in the heart of Madrid.

The opening act will be particularly moving since it will pay tribute to the recently deceased choreographer Pina Bausch, whose presence has always been a constant in the capital's festival. Teatros del Canal will lend its stage to various performances. Between the 4^th and 8^th, it will welcome Kontakthof, one of Bausch's most emblematic shows that she premiered last year in two different versions: one with children and the other starring dancers who are over 65. It is the latter that will feature in this festival. From the 25^th to 29^th, the theatre will receive this season's star mise-en-scène Trilogia della villeggiatura, directed by Toni Servillo, who was named Best Actor at the European Film Awards for Il Divo and Gomorra. Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's The Three Penny Opera, directed by Marina Bollaín, will be staged from the 27^th to 29^th.

Between the 20^th and 23^rd, Canadian Robert Lepage, another artist who never misses the event, will present in Teatro de Madrid the final part of his dragon trilogy The Blue Dragon, a combination of dance, music and visual and sound effects that revolve around contemporary China. The Far East will also play a lead role in the Teatro Circo Price, which from the 20^th to the 22^nd will be staging Lang Toi, a fabulous show brought to us by the New Vietnamese Circus. Just a few days earlier, on the 11^th, Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, the author of such renowned soundtracks as The Last Emperor, will bring magic to the stage with a piano concert.

After the success of The Coleman Family's Omission, the Argentinean actor, author and director Claudio Tolcachir will present, from November 5 to 29, the Third Body in the Teatro Español. Those looking for new languages on stage should be sure not to miss Feed, an avant-garde audiovisual performance presented by Austrian Kurt Hentschläger in La Casa Encendida from 27^th to 29^th. Madrid's theatres will once again sparkle in autumn!
