The smallest theatre you'll ever set foot in

CasaLa Teatro was born from a simple idea: culture is a basic necessity — you should be able to buy it where you buy your bread. In 2011 Fernando Rodalva, a sculptor and Triana local, turned two empty stalls of Triana Market into a theatre, with 28 seats rescued from Seville's old Lope de Vega Theatre. We opened on 18 May 2012, with filmmaker Pilar Távora as the project's godmother, and we haven't stopped since.

This three-metre stage has hosted actor Antonio Dechent in Cocteau's "The Human Voice", African film seasons, concerts, magic, children's theatre and — above all — a lot of flamenco. In 2018 we created "Íntima Triana", our daily flamenco show, heir to the intimate flamenco performed in this house from day one. The press has called us "the smallest theatre in the world"; Spain's El País wrote about "theatre sold by weight at Triana Market". We prefer to put it this way: we're a theatre where audience and artist breathe the same air.

The theatre sits over the crypt of the medieval San Jorge Castle, inside a real, working food market. It's run by its founders, Fernando and Sara, with no structural public funding: this theatre exists because you buy a ticket.

Since 2025 we also run "Memorias de Triana", a project collecting the living memory of the neighbourhood's historic residents and shopkeepers.
