On 28 November 2026, Escena Lanzarote presents VERNE at Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote, a performance for all ages within the island’s programme of performing arts. The venue, created inside a volcanic tube, will provide the setting for a work built around imagination, movement and visual theatre.
VERNE brings visual theatre to Jameos del Agua
The event is part of the sixth edition of Escena Lanzarote, which runs from November 2026 to May 2027 with theatre, dance and other forms of performing arts. The organiser describes VERNE as a journey through the imaginative universe of Jules Verne.
The production uses no spoken dialogue. Its elements include objects, projections, movement and theatrical mechanisms, according to the Escena Lanzarote programme. The date and venue place the performance inside the current travel window for visitors planning a November stay in Lanzarote.
The same auditorium is also scheduled to host the final meeting of Cangrejos Albinos on 14 November 2026, when actor and director Paco LeĂłn is due to take part in a conversation about comedy. The Cangrejos Albinos meeting is a separate programme item at the site.
Jameos del Agua links theatre with a lava tube
The attraction occupies a section of the La Corona volcanic tube, where rock, water and light shape the route. The tube formed around 5,000 years ago through volcanic activity, and partial collapses in its roof created the natural openings known as jameos.
The first Centre of Art, Culture and Tourism created by CĂ©sar Manrique opened at the site in 1968. His intervention was completed in 1977, while the work also involved artist JesĂşs Soto and craftspeople, technicians and workers from Lanzarote. VERNE therefore arrives in a space where performance is placed within an existing relationship between architecture, landscape and volcanic geology.
The route includes the Jameo Chico, an interior lake and the Jameo Grande, as well as a natural auditorium. The lake contains the blind crab, an endemic species adapted to darkness, while the surrounding area forms part of the Los Jameos Site of Scientific Interest.
