The Teatro Fernán Gómez (previously Centro Cultural de la Villa de Madrid) is a theatre and cultural centre in Madrid, Spain.
History
Located near the Plaza de Colón in the Jardines del Descubrimiento , the theatre was inaugurated on 15 May 1977.[1] Since its early days, its programme has featured plays by both classical and contemporary authors, as well as other events such as concerts and exhibitions.[2]
In 2007, the theatre adopted the name of actor and author Fernando Fernán Gómez, who had died that year.[3] In September 2013, the City Council of Madrid dismissed the director of the theatre and announced its intention to privatize its management, sparking outrage in the cultural world.[4] The council eventually conceded.[5]
Structure
The theatre has three rooms. The main one, Sala Guirau, has a capacity for 682 people. The secondary Sala Jardiel Poncela (also known simply as Sala Dos) can accommodate up to 175 people.[6] The third room is an exhibition hall (Sala de exposiciones) with a surface area of 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft).[7]
Other uses
The theatre has hosted funerals of celebrated artists on several occasions throughout the years, with those of Lola Flores (1995),[8] Rocío Jurado (2006),[9] and Tony Leblanc (2012)[10] being notable examples.
