The Teatre Lliure
The Teatre Lliure of Barcelona was established in 1976 and very quickly became one of the most representative venues on the Barcelona theater scene, despite being a small venue in Gràcia. Some years later it was declared a public venue, before unveiling a new theatre at Montjuïc. Today the Teatre Lliure is directed by Lluís Pasqual.
