Aluna Café
About the Aluna Café
In the Latin American and Hispanic culture there has always been a place to talk about and learn from the work of other artists. Aluna Theatre invites you to join us in the rediscovery of this tradition by opening a space of dialogue and enjoyment of great works of drama.
Aluna Café is a place to share your ideas and exchange in foreign traditions and new influences. It’s a friendly platform to express your opinions, show or talk about your new creative endeavours and enjoy an evening of theatre and conversation.
