L’AMOR VENIA AMB TAXI has been recognized at the Performing Arts Critics’ Awards with two outstanding honors that we are especially delighted about: Best Costume Design and Best Musical.

This double recognition highlights the work of the entire team behind the production, as well as the spirit of the show, which from the very beginning set out to be a tribute to amateur theatre in Catalonia — and, in a way, also to our own history and way of making theatre.

This project was made possible thanks to the repayable grants from ICEC for Catalan-language musicals, the tax incentives from the Ministry of Culture, which we accessed with the support of Reixach Escorxador, and the willingness of Grup Focus, who made room for us in the program of the Teatre Romea. With all this support, we decided to take the plunge — and the project grew, and grew a lot.

The truth is that “El taxi”, as we affectionately call it within the company, has been an extraordinary experience and has brought us so much joy.

Finally, we would like to sincerely thank the critics for this award… and also all the people who have been part of this adventure, on and off stage.

La Cubana is currently immersed in the creation and production of its new show, La cuisine de ma cousine, a project the company has long been eager to undertake. Following the end of performances of L’amor venia amb taxi at Barcelona’s Teatre Romea, the new production has now begun to take shape, marking a new chapter for the company.

This show allows us to explore the world of gastronomy and the “culinary frenzy” that has taken hold of us in recent years. A frenzy that goes beyond simply eating well or tasting exquisite dishes, and extends to the need to display, share and broadcast what we eat and where we eat it.

Our intention is for this new production to begin its journey with a tour throughout Spain, and once completed, to be presented in its Catalan-language version in Barcelona.

Tickets are already on sale for performances at the Teatro Gayarre in Pamplona, where the show will run during the San Fermín festival, from 25 June to 12 July.

With La cuisine de ma cousine, La Cubana remains true to its creative spirit, working through humor, observation and theatrical play, and preparing a production that, as always, aims to surprise audiences and turn theatre into a shared experience.

Further details about this new project will be revealed in the coming weeks, as the show begins its stage journey in Pamplona before continuing on its path.

Tickets are now on sale for the new performances of L’AMOR VENIA AMB TAXI, which will run until Sunday, February 15, when the company will present its final performance at the Teatre Romea.

This will be the last opportunity to enjoy the most “Cubana-style” musical of the season, as the show is not extendable and will not go on tour.

If you haven’t come yet—or if you want to enjoy it again—don’t miss the chance to experience this musical comedy full of humor, surprises, and the unmistakable style of La Cubana.

After many months of work, rehearsals and preparations, we finally raised the curtain on L’AMOR VENIA AMB TAXI. And we did so with a full house at the Teatre Romea, surrounded by laughter, emotions, and an enthusiastic audience that made us feel right at home.

As with every production, it’s been an intense and passionate journey, and the entire La Cubana team has worked tirelessly to reach this moment… and being welcomed with a sold-out theatre has been truly moving!

👉 To celebrate this milestone, we’ve added more performances on sale: until November 16th!
Don’t miss the chance to experience this Cubana madness at the Romea.

We are thrilled to announce that Jordi Milán, director of La Cubana, has been awarded the 2025 SGAE Medal of Honor in recognition of his outstanding career and contribution to the performing arts.

SGAE has honoured Jordi Milán as the soul of La Cubana, “who, under his direction, has brought theatre closer to the public with a unique style full of humour, complicity and creativity.”

Since 1986, Jordi Milán has created and led more than twenty iconic productions that have left their mark on generations, including Cómeme el coco, negro, Campanades de boda, Cegada de amor, and Adiós Arturo, among many others.

This year award ceremony will take place on May 21st at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, where Joaquín Sabina, Gema R. Neira and Editorial Boileau will also be honoured. A tribute will also be paid to María Lejárraga, who has been named honorary president posthumously.

This recognition of Jordi is one we also share with everyone who has been, or is currently, part of La Cubana. Congratulations, Jordi!

La Cubana started as a game 45 years ago, and we are still playing today. We are very lucky that the audience has always supported us; thanks to this, we have been able to make a living from theatre all these years.

We have designed this exhibition at the Palau Robert as a game, so that those who don’t know us can discover our journey, and those who already do can delve deeper into our way of working—very artisanal—which we have preserved since our beginnings in amateur theatre.

Since we are born “rag-and-bone collectors” and keep everything, you won’t find a “conventional” (minimalist and designer) exhibition, but rather a “Christmas tree” loaded with many ornaments.

Through a journey among our treasures—costumes, wigs, props, sets, photographs, videos…—you will be able to discover the unique world of La Cubana.
