Starring Xosé A. Touriñán and David Perdomo, two icons of Galician comedy, Corentena: Game Over is presented as the first "theatrical video game" in history. The show has won over audiences since its premiere in early March 2025, selling over 10,000 tickets on its first tour. The production is led by Ainé , one of Galicia's most established performing arts companies.

Ainé has positioned itself as the leading performing arts producer in Galicia, attracting more than 60,000 spectators annually in the region alone. For this innovative project, it collaborates with Sonpress as a technological partner to integrate a T-Rent 3.9 L LED screen into a highly unconventional stage. Measuring 18 square meters, the screen becomes a key element of the show, allowing the comedians to interact in real time while the audience actively participates.

In recent years, Ainé has been behind some of Galicia's most successful theatrical productions. Her career includes such acclaimed titles as Unha noite na praia (A Night on the Beach), Fariña (Fariña), and Corentena itself. However, it was with Somos Criminais (We Are Criminals) that they achieved a historic milestone: becoming the highest-grossing show in Galician theater, with over 120,000 spectators.

Behind these achievements lies not only artistic vision but also technical effort, for which Sonpress has been a key partner. Based in Carballo (A Coruña) and with over 30 years of experience, this company has been present in productions and events, providing technical support and technological solutions.

The collaboration between Ainé and Sonpress is based on a shared commitment to quality and innovation. Together, they work side by side on productions that captivate thousands of viewers every weekend. Mutual trust and coordination between teams are key to this success, supported by constant investment in technology, such as that made by Sonpress to integrate Traulux LED screens.

Although Ainé had previously explored resources such as sound, projection, and lighting, it was with the premiere on March 7th that the opportunity arose to go a step further: integrating a large-format Traulux LED screen directly into the stage. Thus was born Corentena: Game Over, the first theatrical video game in history.

The T-Rent 3.9 L cabinets stand out for their excellent image quality and durability, making them the ideal choice for environments where installations are temporary but demanding. Their ease of assembly, disassembly, and transport perfectly suits the needs of Corentena: Game Over, which will tour eight Galician cities between March and June. Looking ahead to the fall, new locations will be added to continue bringing this innovative theatrical experience to audiences. In addition, the cabinets incorporate corner protectors that prevent damage to the LED lamps and masks, thus ensuring greater durability.

Video processing is handled by Novastar electronics, supplied by Charmex . The VX1000 and VX600 processors bring precision to the experience. These devices feature a scaler, low latency, and 3D, for excellent image display.

Thanks to the incorporation of these LED cabinets and their advanced electronics, Ainé will be able to expand the use of this technology in future shows and events, both indoor and outdoor. One of the upcoming venues will be the Castelo Conta festival, one of Galicia's most prominent cultural events, which will celebrate its tenth edition next August.

The combination of artistic talent, cutting-edge technology, and a shared vision between Ainé and Sonpress has resulted in a theatrical experience unlike any other in Galicia. Thanks to Charmex's Traulux screens, which offer exceptional image quality and robustness, this collaboration paves the way for a more immersive and interactive way of creating theater, adapted to the new languages of entertainment.
