The María Luisa Cinema Theater, an iconic space inaugurated in 1930 thanks to the support of María Luisa Gragera, has witnessed the evolution of the Extremaduran capital since the 1950s.
After years of closure, in 2022, the Mérida City Council launched a renovation project that has renovated every corner of the theater, including the stage, which will be re-released and open its doors to the public in the summer of 2022 as a new extension of the Mérida Festival programming. Thus, this year, the third consecutive edition of the Festival programming is consolidated in this Emeritus setting.
