Jameos del Agua hosts Verne on 28 November 2026

Jameos del Agua and Escena Lanzarote will meet on 28 November 2026, when the visual theatre production Verne reaches the auditorium in Lanzarote. The venue, also identified by its local name Jameos del Agua, will host a wordless work by Murcia-based company Onírica Mecánica.

The performance brings a current stage programme into a volcanic setting shaped by César Manrique. Its date falls between 2 November and 7 December 2026, the current period in which this event provides a specific reason to plan a visit.

Escena Lanzarote opens at the volcanic auditorium

Verne is the opening performance of the sixth Escena Lanzarote festival, whose programme runs from November 2026 to May 2027. The festival brings theatre, dance and new forms of performing arts to venues including Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes.

The official programme lists Verne for 28 November 2026 at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium. It gives the start time as 8pm, a running time of 50 minutes and access for all ages. The official Verne programme describes a production built from visual theatre, objects, projections, movement and stage mechanisms.

Rather than using spoken dialogue, the work invites its audience to follow images and complete the action through interpretation. That approach links the production directly to the auditorium: the performance uses a venue whose natural vault, slope and acoustics are part of the experience of visiting the centre.

A wordless performance shaped by rock and light

The attraction occupies a section of the La Corona volcanic tube, formed around 5,000 years ago by volcanic activity. Partial collapses in the roof created the openings known as jameos, while the same underground system includes Cueva de los Verdes and continues beneath the ocean through the Atlantis Tunnel.

In 1968, the first Centre of Art, Culture and Tourism created by César Manrique opened at the site. The intervention was completed in 1977 and arranged paths, platforms, gardens and resting places around the form of the tube. Jesús Soto and local craftspeople, technicians and workers also contributed to the finished setting, as the CACT place guide records.

The relationship between programme and place is therefore concrete rather than incidental. Verne explores travel, discovery and invention through images, while its audience sits inside a site created by adapting rock, water and light to public use.

Visiting Jameos del Agua: what travellers from Western Europe should know

• Verne is scheduled for 28 November 2026 at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium as part of Escena Lanzarote.
• The event is designed for all ages and the official programme lists a wordless performance lasting 50 minutes.
• The centre lies on the Arrieta - Órzola road in northern Lanzarote, within the La Corona volcanic tube.
• The general route includes volcanic stone paving and changes in level. The auditorium has a stairlift platform for access to its seating area during events, but this does not make the full route accessible.

For visitors combining the performance with the site, the auditorium sits within the route through the cave rather than in a separate urban theatre. The interior lake, the Jameo Grande and the natural auditorium are among the named areas of the centre.
