For its 24th edition, ¡Viva! returns with a HOME-wide celebration of film, theatre and visual art from across Spain and Latin America. In addition to a host of great international theatre performances, 20 of the best new Spanish and Latin American films, and visual art exhibitions, ¡Viva! will also be including some live music events over the opening two weekends.
The broad theme for this year’s festival is Latin American Revolutions. Latin America has a long history of political turmoil and revolutionary movements. These political contexts have produced a range of artistic movements that have attempted to articulate, support and counter those political ideas. For its 2018 edition, the festival offers the opportunity to be inspired by, engage with and challenge the range of revolutionary and populist movements and ideas that have emerged since the rise of anti-colonial sentiments in the 19th century.
