How to watch the Max Awards: technology to bring theatre home 🎭

The streaming broadcast uses RTVE Play's digital infrastructure, which allows stable viewing on mobile devices and smart TVs. The platform adapts the content to different connection speeds, avoiding interruptions during speeches. For purists, La 2 offers the traditional signal in high definition. This dual technical option ensures that the show reaches viewers without loss of quality, even though the Roman theatre does not have free wifi for attendees.

The goddess Ceres and the drama of finding no parking 🚗

While Ceres, goddess of agriculture, receives her tribute, mortals attending in Mérida will face a more earthly odyssey: finding a spot for the car. The gala promises strong emotions, but the true epic will be navigating the crowded streets. At least those watching the ceremony from home will avoid the ordeal of traffic and can applaud Margarita Xirgu without paying for a drink at theatre prices.
