Cabayal Íntim is in Valencia until May 19, offering more than 20 artistic proposals in the houses of the neighborhood “Poblats Marítims”. It is an urban and proximity festival, organized by the company Francachela Teatro, focused on the performing arts of intimate, close and experimental character. Since 2011, it has been held annually, over two consecutive weekends, inside the houses and other unique spaces of Cabañal, a former fishing district of Valencia that, until the end of 2015, were threatened by municipal urban speculation. Designed for all audiences, the festival offers new stage experiences by tracing an itinerary through the neighborhood with contemporary shows of various disciplines. From text theater, physical theater, object theater, dance, circus, music, underground cabaret, videoart, dramatized poetry …-, with the aim of promoting a dialogue between the emerging theatrical culture and the idiosyncrasies of a neighborhood, its history and its inhabitants.
The event has many parallel activities, such as: Guided tour of the Cabañal: 12 €; Caba-nyam!: 4 €; or the Embestida: Free until full capacity is reached. The opening will be free admission until full capacity is reached. In addition, there will also be another totally free activity called Cloenda. The proposals presented go beyond the conventional formulas and languages, being represented in domestic spaces altruistically donated by the neighbors themselves. Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms or terraces are transformed for a few days, along with other unusual places, in the most daring and innovative scenarios.

In each edition a slogan is proposed, according to the social reality of the Cabañal, about what the companies create in their productions, such as desire, transformation, or migration.
The program is divided into long and short pieces, the Íntimos a la noche, Territorio that hosts the most avant-garde proposals, free parallel activities for all audiences, such as round tables, interventions, guided tours or screenings, and own productions.
