Summer has finally arrived at Matadero Madrid, bringing weekends filled with music, art and participation.
Summer has finally arrived at Matadero Madrid, bringing weekends filled with music, art and participation. On Friday and Saturday nights from 29 July to 27 August Matadero Madrid will host, in collaboration with Mahou Cinco Estrellas, the fifth edition of La Plaza en Verano (The Square in Summer). La Plaza en Verano aims to liven up Matadero Madrid’s public space, pursuing two main goals: to showcase young curators and creators from the local and national underground scene and to offer a space in which, via an open call, they have a chance to experiment with new cultural production practices in the public domain.
  Once again this year the open call has been curated by Grupal Crew Collective. Going by the theme La fiesta es permanente (The Party is Permanent), proposals were sought which explored partying as a means of constructing an ephemeral reality which, almost irrevocably, changes the ways in which we interact with other people, play with our bodies, use space and produce culture.
  Quiela Nuc and Raúl Querido are the curators who designed the Saturday activities. Continuing the distinctive playful and celebratory tone of previous editions of La Plaza en Verano, they present a hybrid programme heavily influenced by feminism and cross-border genres, inviting us to “dance hard until the floor breaks, sweat out beats, perform in a loop; prop up the dance floor, the word, dance, movement, our bodies themselves”.
  All activities will be held after 8pm in Plaza Matadero and are free of charge.
