In the warm weekend nights of August, Matadero Madrid invites you to concerts, performances, Dj sets, sound installations and tons of dancing. This year La Plaza en Verano (the Square in the Summer) takes place at the same time as the 10th anniversary of Matadero Madrid and we celebrate it with top participants.  
On Fridays, PLAYdramaturgia and El gatoconmoscas (Puss in flies) have selected different projects from the public call VIVAC (convocatoria pública VIVAC) launched by both groups together. To do VIVAC is nothing other than spending the night outdoors. A decision that implies the opening of the space at the end of the day to meet others, to contemplate and listen to the night's sounds and ways, what we can do at and around night time, in the open air. This program offers a meeting point under the sounds that cross the city, the power of transformation of spaces when the night comes and its relation to tales, hits, voices, bodies and dance: the space that takes the party in.

VIVAC's crew includes: El significado de soñar con un ciprés (The meaning of dreaming of a cypress); Plazaerrorveranohumano (humansummermistakesquare); Parkineo and Discoland joined by the proposals of curator groups, Quien Canta su mal espanta (the one who sings its evil frightens) and Anonymous Woman.  
In addition, there will be a different proposal every Saturday from curators such as: Clara Collantes introducing Las canciones son para el verano (songs are for the Summer); Sonsoles Rodríguez and Gema Melgar introducing: La mano izquierda de la oscuridad (darkness' left hand); Sara Brito / Chico-Trópico introducing: Romalce, a nasty romantic songs tiny festival-happening; Lucía Lijtmaer introducing Matadero s/n.
Opening and closing nights will have Grupal Crew Collective develop two proposals for the 10th anniversary of Matadero Madrid, inviting different cultural agents and groups that have taken part in former editions of La Plaza en Verano. La Romería de los Voltios (the pilgrimage of volts) returns to the opening night, second edition of the unusual parade traveling around the streets of Matadero Madrid and arriving at it's square where the rest of activities will take place after the opening speech.  
  Grupal Crew Collective coordinates the closing ball's 3rd edition for closing night at La Plaza: Matadero Dance Clash 3, a Summer classic.   FULL PROGRAMME:   OPENING NIGHT: Friday, July 28, 8 pm. to midnight La Romería de los Voltios with opening speech by Sabina Urraca Simpatía Latina 4 Royal Rumba with Irie Queen, Alma Soul Music, Enlace Funk, Salsódromo, Post Club and Sensi Garden Sound
