The official presentation from the Ayuntamiento describes Constelación Escénica as a cultural initiative that treats inclusion not as an add-on, but as the heart of the event itself. That makes it one of the most distinctive cultural dates in Puerto de la Cruz this May.
Most activities are announced with free entry until full capacity, while the dramatherapy workshop requires advance registration.
Dates and overview
Constelación Escénica takes place in Puerto de la Cruz from Thursday 21 May to Sunday 24 May 2026. The festival is presented as an inclusive arts event built around accessibility, creativity, equality and public participation.
The 2026 edition includes an opening batucada, an exhibition by the Taller de Artes Plásticas Giro-Arte, an inclusive dance performance, a theatre performance and a dramatherapy workshop.
Venues
The festival uses two main venues in Puerto de la Cruz:
- Castillo Espacio Cultural / Espacio Cultural El Castillo de San Felipe
- Sala Teatro Timanfaya
These two spaces shape the festival in different ways. The Castillo hosts the opening atmosphere, the visual arts component and the workshop, while Sala Timanfaya takes in the staged performance programme.
Thursday 21 May 2026
The festival opens on Thursday with music and visual arts at the Castillo de San Felipe.
- 18:00 — Batucada Isla Baja, outside the Castillo de San Felipe
- 19:00 — inauguration of the exhibition Calma, by the Taller de Artes Plásticas Giro-Arte, in the same space
Friday 22 May 2026
Friday moves the programme to Sala Teatro Timanfaya with a dance performance built around inclusion and stage movement.
- 20:00 — Días de sol y sombras, an inclusive dance performance by Cía. Enbedanza, at Sala Teatro Timanfaya
Saturday 23 May 2026
Saturday continues at Sala Timanfaya with theatre.
- 12:00 — Los últimos guardianes del escenario, by Platea, at Sala Teatro Timanfaya
With a midday start, this is one of the easiest parts of the programme to fit into a wider day in Puerto de la Cruz.
Sunday 24 May 2026
The closing activity is a dramatherapy workshop at the Castillo de San Felipe.
- 11:00 to 13:00 — Cada cuerpo, una estrella; juntos, una constelación, a dramatherapy workshop led by Pedro Cuadrado, at Espacio Cultural El Castillo de San Felipe
This final session underlines the participatory side of the festival and closes the programme with direct creative involvement rather than a conventional spectator format.
Entry, registration and access
The Ayuntamiento states that festival activities are generally offered with free entry until full capacity. The exception is the Sunday dramatherapy workshop, which requires advance registration through the organisers.
That makes Constelación Escénica one of the more accessible cultural events in Puerto de la Cruz this month, both in practical and artistic terms.
