Sumario:Since its foundation in 2018, the Granada-based theater company Mitra Teatro has produced six shows that introduce audiences to classical sources of inspiration through contemporary and experimental theater. The following article proposes a study of the six shows in the company’s trajectory to date, with special emphasis on its three main and most representative productions: Panteros (2021), Mutated Bodies from Ovid's Metamorphoses (2022), and (re)Tales of the Alhambra (2023). In particular, the article distills the key aesthetic and dramaturgical markers of the company: ritual, narrative, fragmentation, audience interaction, theatrical eclecticism, masks, puppetry and object theater, humor, music, and dance. The article highlights the creative work of the company and their place in Spain’s peripheral and emerging theatrical landscape, with the aim of shedding light on Granada, a region with a theatrical fabric demanding greater attention.
