Jameos del Agua hosts Verne on 28 November

Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote hosts Verne, the opening show of Escena Lanzarote, on 28 November 2026. The wordless production by Onírica Mecánica uses visual theatre to bring Jules Verne’s imaginative worlds to the island’s volcanic auditorium.

Escena Lanzarote opens with Verne on 28 November

The performance is scheduled for the Auditorium at Jameos del Agua at 8pm. The official Verne programme page identifies Onírica Mecánica as the company and describes a 50-minute production for all audiences.

Objects, projections, movement and stage mechanisms shape the piece. It contains no spoken words, allowing the visual elements to carry a story inspired by Verne’s themes of travel, discovery and invention. Escena Lanzarote’s sixth edition continues from November 2026 into May 2027, with performances spread between Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes.

The event is part of the cultural programme run around the natural auditoriums of Lanzarote’s Centres for Art, Culture and Tourism. The programme places the opening inside the cave’s existing performance space rather than treating the site only as a daytime visitor attraction.

Jameos del Agua links theatre with volcanic architecture

Jameos del Agua forms part of the La Corona volcanic tube in northern Lanzarote. The route combines volcanic rock, water and light, while an underground lake supports a blind crab species adapted to darkness.

The CACT visitor page records that the first Centre of Art, Culture and Tourism created by César Manrique opened at the site in 1968. The intervention was completed in 1977 and includes paths, platforms, gardens, rest areas and the natural auditorium.

That history gives the 28 November performance a precise setting: the same chamber shaped by Manrique’s work becomes the opening venue for a production about imagined journeys and future worlds. The theatre programme therefore uses the site’s existing relationship between landscape, design and performance.

Verne gives the 2026 programme a wordless opening

Onírica Mecánica comes from the Region of Murcia and is directed by Jesús Nieto. The company works across visual theatre, objects, installation, technology and visual creation.

The production previously appeared at Teatralia 2026 and was later programmed by Spain’s National Drama Centre. Its presentation at Jameos del Agua is the first listed evening of Escena Lanzarote 2026/27, while later programme dates include performances in both natural auditoriums.
