GRUPO
Season 2026, the 31st season of the Enigma Group.
Under the title "The Principle of Violence ," the Enigma Group champions imagination through the conjuring of noise as a musical element. More than twenty works and guest artists participate to confirm, as essayist Ramón Andrés reminds us, that all imagination begins with the ear.
Season tickets on sale from December 15th to January 18th.
