On Friday evening, 23rd January 2026, Carlos Martínez's final programme premiered to a sold-out audience at the Kabarett der Galgenstricke in Esslingen, Germany. With "Zugabe!" (Encore!), the internationally renowned mime looks back on 44 years on stage and, at the age of 70, presents his eleventh major show. Humour and sensitivity guide the evening, as memories, encounters, and the universal power of mime unfold. The show will tour internationally until the end of 2027. After that, Carlos Martínez will increasingly devote himself to teaching, supporting young artists and writing a new book. He will only occasionally return for brief guest appearances, but without make-up. For audiences and organizers alike, Zugabe! is therefore the final opportunity to experience Carlos Martínez wearing the traditional mime mask in a full-length show.

This autumn Carlos Martínez is visiting India for the first time. The tour begins in New Delhi with a five-day theatre workshop, followed by a performance of 'An Evening with Carlos Martínez' at the India Habitat Centre on 4 October. He will then continue to Mussoorie, where further activities are planned.

This book, written by Carlos Martínez, sold out its paper edition years ago, and instead of reprinting it, we decided to bring it to digital format to reach more readers around the world. In its pages you will discover reflections on the art of mime from that special place: the dressing room. If you love the theatre, the art of mime or stories from behind the curtain, this book is for you. Now available in digital format for only €4.99 in Rakuten Kobo, fnac.es, Google Play, iBooks, Barnes & Noble, etc.

In a world often marked by haste and negativity, Carlos Martinez invites us to stop and celebrate the beauty of the moment. His legendary show "Time to Celebrate" returns to the stage in 2025, promising an unforgettable experience for all those who crave poetry, hope and a dash of humour. Celebrating his 70th birthday in 2025, the Spanish mime actor continues to delight audiences with his ability to convey deep emotions without words. In 'Time to Celebrate', he proves that the art of mime is timeless and has lost none of its relevance in our fast-paced digital world.

A thrilling evening that shows the reason why we still need Human Rights. The show is a carousel of emotions that will not leave you indifferent. Even if the first scenes are shocking (not recommended for children under 12 years) it is worth staying until the end to see how hope, dignity and humor put the finishing touch. You can see this show on December 10 (on International Human Rights Day) at 7:30 pm at the Hechtplatz Theater in CH-Zurich.
