Andorra la Vella joins Cap Butaca Buida, to stage homegrown musical Abrakadabra

Andorra la Vella will join the third edition of the Cap Butaca Buida theatre day on 21 March 2026, part of a programme that will bring performances to 222 venues across Catalan-speaking territories. Organisers describe the 2026 edition as a moment of “maturity and expansion,” noting the addition of new international participants that extend the project beyond the Mediterranean area.

The presentation took place at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. Olalla Losada, Andorra la Vella’s deputy mayor and culture councillor, delivered a video message expressing the parish’s pride in taking part and describing culture as “a driver of cohesion and shared progress.”

As part of the programme, the parish government (Comú) will present Abrakadabra at the Teatre Comunal. The show, staged by the Escena Nacional Andorrana (ENA), is a 100% Andorran musical comedy “produced, made and directed by Andorran talent,” Losada said. She underlined ENA’s key role in fostering the country’s creative sector and said Cap Butaca Buida offers “an extraordinary opportunity to give visibility to national talent and project it beyond our borders.”

The initiative is promoted by the Association of Theatre Companies of Catalonia (ADETCA) and the Catalan Media Corporation, with support from the Catalan Institute of Cultural Enterprises (ICEC) of the Generalitat’s Department of Culture and collaboration from numerous institutions, theatres, civic centres, producers and companies.
