La Escopeta Nacional

La Escopeta Nacional

Every day at 7pm

Teatro Español · Centro • 6-22 €

Berlanga and Azcona's biting political satire still stings half a century later. A farcical hunting trip with the Francoist elite traps a Catalan businessman in a web of corruption, appearances, and backroom deals that feels unsettlingly familiar.

Intimate Flamenco Show in Tablao La Manuela

Intimate Flamenco Show in Tablao La Manuela

October 30 at 8:30pm +51

Tablao La Manuela · Tetuán • € 28

Flamenco up close enough to feel the floorboards shake. Tablao La Manuela keeps the audience small and the passion enormous, dissolving the line between performer and spectator.

Led Silhouette - ULTIMATUM

Led Silhouette - ULTIMATUM

October 30 at 8pm +1

Centro Danza Matadero · Arganzuela

The body as the last territory when everything else collapses. Led Silhouette's ULTIMATUM fuses dance, theater, and cinema into a raw meditation on complicity, control, and the cost of looking away.

Verborrea

Verborrea

October 29 at 7:30pm +2

Nave 10 Matadero · Arganzuela

Pablo Remón directs this exploration of memory and myth, following the rise and fall of a fictional punk band. Two brothers navigate their upbringing and the stories they inherit, combat, and repeat.

Take off (Nada de esto tuvo que haber ocurrido)

Take off (Nada de esto tuvo que haber ocurrido)

Every day at 7:30pm from Nov. 5 to Nov. 15

Nave 10 Matadero · Arganzuela

Two Boeing 747s, one foggy runway, 583 lives: the 1977 Tenerife disaster becomes gripping documentary theater. Part thriller, part dark comedy, it dissects how tiny details steer history.

¡Soy salvaje!

¡Soy salvaje!

November 8 at 10am (Next weekend) +2

Real Teatro de Retiro · Retiro • 20 €

Raised far from the world by a gorilla in the wilderness, Mona faces the human world and its definitions of being wild in this production by La Maquiné, which combines theatre and live classical music performed on piano and flute.

Frequently asked questions

How are these performances in Madrid chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
