Microtheater is a new type of theater, coming from Spain, where short plays, usually 10 to 15 minutes long, are performed in small spaces. This makes the experience more personal, as the audience is very close to the actors.
Several plays are performed in one night, allowing actors to try different roles and interact with the audience in a unique way.
