COPLA: A SPANISH CABARET To Return As Part Of VOILA 2025
A celebration of Spain's vibrant cultural and political history, brought to life with a queer twist.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Nov. 04, 2025
HisPanic will present the return of Alejandro Postigo's Copla: A Spanish Cabaret. Practically unknown internationally, Copla is the dramatic, heartfelt music that defined Spain's early musicals and resonates deeply with anyone who loves laughing, crying, and singing along to their favourite diva's melodramatic refrain.
Once repressed under Franco's dictatorship, the raw emotion and soaring melodies of Copla have been reimagined for a new intercultural generation.
Journey through the upheavals of queer migrant experience: living far from home, translating childhood musical memories, and celebrating foreignness through music. Performances will take place from 21 to 22nd November at Theatro Technis.
