El Patio Número 3 in Málaga 2026 – Historical Drama Theatre

🎭 El Patio Número 3 arrives in Málaga with an intense theatrical proposal by Aeterno, written by Víctor Muñoz and directed by Miguel Cegarra. Set in the summer of 1936 in Seville, the play follows María, one of many women who stand daily outside a prison where a loved one is detained, clutching a modest basket of food and confronting the cruelty of a dark historical moment. 🕊️ María waits at the gates of the infamous courtyard where prisoners made their final stop before being taken to their deaths. With unyielding determination, she faces fear and oppression until she can finally hold the body of her son in her arms—alive or dead. Through poetic minimalism and emotional restraint, the production distills encounters to their raw essence, portraying a haunting line of women shaped by hunger, shame, and silent resistance. ✨ With powerful performances by Carmen Ruiz-Mingorance and Javier Cereto, this 75-minute drama reaches the limits of human endurance and moral courage. El Patio Número 3 offers audiences in Málaga a deeply moving reflection on memory, loss, and the strength of those who refused to surrender their humanity in the face of terror.
