About this show

Sobremesa is a multidisciplinary performance inspired by the Spanish tradition of lingering at the table in conversation long after a meal. Audiences create their own literary menu from a selection of Spanish and Latin American texts, each paired with a surprise musical response. Performed by flute and guitar, Sobremesa blends folk and classical music, from Bach to Flamenco and beyond. Each evening becomes a unique journey of intertwining arts, shaped by the audience. After the performance, we invite our guests to stay, share thoughts and let the experience unfold together.
