The performance was carried out by a group of members of the Association of Penyes, as part of the events of the '700th Anniversary'
A packed audience at the farce 'It Could Happen', which humorously imagines the history of the Town Charter
The Assembly Hall of La Casa del Fester was packed with people last Thursday evening to witness the farce "Pudo sucede" (It Could Have Happened), performed by a group of members of the Benidorm Verge del Sofratge Association of Penyes. This humorous performance depicts what it may have been like when Admiral Bernat de Sarrià wrote the Benidorm Town Charter on May 8, 1325.
Mayor Toni Pérez, along with the Councillor for Fiestas, Mariló Cebreros, and other representatives of the municipal council, accompanied members of the peñistas and the public at this event, which was also attended by the president of the Association of Penyes, Jonathan López de las Huertas; the queens of the Festes Majors Patronals, Paula Pascual Sánchez and Aitana Pérez Gutiérrez, and their ladies-in-waiting; as well as the president of the 2025 Festival Commission, Susana Martínez.
"Pudo sucede" (It Could Happen), a work by Vanessa Navarro, was first performed in 2014, and after several years off the stage, it was revived this year as part of the commemorative activities for the 700th anniversary of the founding of Benidorm.
