Checkpoint Charlie at La Escalera de Jacob

Checkpoint Charlie brings the tension of the Cold War to the stage at La Escalera de Jacob, located in the heart of Lavapiés. The story follows an East German soldier who, during a standoff between American and Soviet tanks, must manage an international crisis while trying to return home to the woman he loves.

Directed by Alba Quiñones, the play explores the weight of personal decisions within a critical historical context. Guests may enjoy a drink purchased at the theater bar during the performance. Seats are numbered and assigned by the venue upon purchase.

The performance lasts approximately 60 minutes. Late entry to the room is not permitted once the show has started.
