APRIL 16. Concert by “The Jazz Room”
At the concert hall-restaurant La Fundición, located in Alicante at Carrer Poeta Pastor, 16, the group “The Jazz Room” will perform compositions by two of the greatest legends of classic jazz: Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. “The Jazz Room” is a live musical experience that combines performance, improvisation, and closeness to the audience, transporting listeners to the golden age of music with a carefully selected repertoire of great classics.

APRIL 16–19. Exhibition of works by Picasso, Warhol, Murakami, and other great artists
Until May 18, the Sea Museum of Santa Pola is hosting an exhibition of works by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Takashi Murakami, Marc Chagall, and other major Spanish and international artists from the Vicente Aguilera Cerni Museum of Contemporary Art in Vilafamés (MACVAC) and from the collection of Mariano Poyatos and Filomena De Lorenzo (Espai Nivi gallery). Many of the works on display are previously unpublished pieces and recent additions to the MACVAC collection and the Espai Nivi collection, making this project a unique opportunity to discover them. The two collections, built around four themes – “The Body”, “Rituals”, “Landscapes of the Soul”, and “Transcendence” – invite visitors to follow a path leading from the most physical and biographical experience to the realms of abstraction and symbol. As the curators note, “it does not offer a closed discourse, but rather a process of search, an inward journey in which each work becomes a threshold and each room a dwelling where the visitor lives at their own pace.”
- Opening hours: 10:00–13:00 and 16:00–19:00 (Tuesday–Saturday), and 11:00–13:30 (Sunday).

In 2022, she emigrated but continued to tour actively around the world, release new material, and participate together with Ruslan Bely in the YouTube show “Cultural Difference”. Her previous concert, “Tower of Babel”, in 2024 gathered audiences in more than 40 cities across Europe and proved that good humor translates perfectly into any language – especially the language of self-irony.
In the new program “Only No Hands”, Irina, as always honestly and without unnecessary pathos, reflects on health, personal complexes, boundaries in relationships, and the strange peculiarities of human communication. And of course, she does not forget about major social phenomena – because sometimes the easiest way to speak about serious things is through laughter.

A weekend in a country house turns into complete chaos: husband and wife plan to spend it not together, but with their lovers.

Unexpected encounters and absurd coincidences lead to everything going completely off plan, and no one understands anymore what is really happening.
- Starts at 20:00, ticket prices: €20, €25, and €50.
APRIL 19. Play “Escape Room”
