Casal Auditori La Violeta

The Casal Auditori La Violeta reopened its doors on July 30, 2022, after several years closed, with the aim of becoming a reference cultural center in Baix Gaià and Camp de Tarragona. Altafulla City Council has opted to revitalize this emblematic space with a diverse program that brings culture closer to all citizens and promotes local and national artistic creation.

Since its reopening, La Violeta has hosted a wide range of cultural activities that have filled the stage with life and emotions. The plays have captivated the public with quality proposals and memorable performances, while the concerts have brought varied rhythms, from singer-songwriter music to emerging bands. In addition, the monologues and comedy shows have made the audience burst out laughing, and the film sessions have allowed them to enjoy film productions in a close and welcoming environment.

During this time, La Violeta has also been the setting for festivals such as the Neurona Fest, dedicated to creativity and cultural innovation, the Ànima Jove, which focuses on emerging talents, and the Straperlo, with a more alternative and fresh programme. These events have helped to revitalise the space and attract audiences of different profiles, thus expanding the cultural impact of the centre beyond Altafulla.

The list of artists who have performed at La Violeta is extensive and diverse, including established musicians such as Joan Miquel Oliver, Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés, Agustí Mas and Kitflus, and bands such as Camellos and Lluís Gavaldà. As for humour, the space has welcomed stand-up comedians such as Héctor de Miguel, Yunez Chaib and Xavi Daura, as well as renowned comedians such as Judit Martin and Alba Florejachs. As for theatre, notable works have been performed such as 'Ovelles', with Biel Duran, or 'El Llarg Dinar de Nadal', with Bruna Cusí, which have demonstrated the commitment to quality staging.

Another of La Violeta's great assets is its firm desire to promote local talent, giving local artists the opportunity to showcase their creations and connect with the public. This combination of established artists and emerging voices has made La Violeta a true cultural meeting point, where tradition and modernity coexist to enrich the cultural life of Altafulla and its surroundings.
