Teatre Joventut

L’Hospitalet City Council purchased the former Cinema Joventut to convert it into the municipality’s theatre and one of its main cultural amenities. The theatre is housed in the same building, retaining the same architectural style created by Ramon Puig i Gairalt decades earlier, but it is as if it were brand new.

The curtain rose for the first time at the new Teatre Joventut on 8 May 1991 for the premiere of the play El cántaro roto, performed by a company from Madrid. Since then, numerous and very varied plays have been put on here; hundreds of actors and actresses have crossed its stage; and thousands of spectators have enjoyed the shows.
