Dramatised reading workshop on Lorca's Yerma, in Algorta, Getxo

Aula de Cultura de Algorta

On Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 18:00 the Aula de Cultura in Algorta, Getxo, holds a dramatised reading workshop on Yerma, led by Utopian as part of a series called Recordando a Lorca. Yerma, written by Federico García Lorca in 1934, belongs to his rural trilogy with Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba. The listing describes it as a classic of world literature about loneliness, frustration and social pressure, in which a woman trapped in a childless marriage struggles against the norms imposed by her society. It adds that Yerma stands for the frustrated longing for motherhood and for the repression of individual desires in a conservative community. The workshop is free, with registration through the Getxo Kultura website. The language is Spanish. Reading a play aloud in a small group is a friendly way to meet people. «Taller de lecturas dramatizadas: «YERMA».» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

The page also quotes the stage directions describing Mariana's home, with white walls, a bowl of quinces and silk roses on the dresser. Admission is free with registration, which is made through the Getxo website, and the session is held in Spanish. The page gives no end time, so the finish is an estimate.

Recordando a Lorca: La comedia sin título, reading workshop, Getxo

Aula de Cultura de Algorta

On Wednesday 9 December 2026 at 18:00 the Aula de Cultura de Algorta in Getxo hosts Recordando a Lorca, a workshop of dramatised readings led by Utopian, this time devoted to La comedia sin título. The listing explains that between autumn 1935 and winter 1936 Federico García Lorca worked on a theatre piece that he himself called a social drama, of which only the first act survives. This edition looks at the revolutionary side of the work through a long introductory study that places the poet in the last years of his life, determined to shake the foundations of an outdated theatre. It also covers the dialogue that the playwright Alberto Conejero establishes with Lorca, continuing the second and third acts that circumstances left unfinished. The workshop is free, with registration required through the Getxo website. It is given in Spanish. A reading group of this kind is easy to join alone, since the shared text gives everyone something to talk about. «Entre otoño de 1935 y el invierno de 1936, García Lorca trabaja en una pieza teatral» Starts 18:00, ends about 19:30.

Bardeetako otsoak, author talk, Getxo Library (Villamonte)

Biblioteca de Getxo (Villamonte)

On Thursday 26 November 2026 at 19:30 the Biblioteca de Getxo (Villamonte) in Getxo hosts a conversation about the novel Bardeetako otsoak, part of the Iparra Galdu Gabe 2026 programme of talks. The listing says the story follows Santxiko, an ordinary fifteenth-century Navarrese man, a Basque-speaking miller who lived a simple, poor and hard-working life until fortune and injustice decided otherwise. It mentions the killing of a tax collector, a flight, a love story and joining a band of highway robbers, ending in tragedy, the ingredients of an epic novel. The text admits that most of it is invented, but says the character deserved it. Visitors get the chance to talk about the book with its author, the writer Jakes Sarraillet Maule. The event is in Basque and entry is free. The listing gives no end time, so the session is expected to last about ninety minutes. A book talk like this is easy to attend alone, since everyone in the room is there to listen and ask about the same novel. «Aukera ederra Jakes Sarraillet Mauleko idazlearekin bere nobelaz solasean aritzeko.» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:00.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
