After its success in Argentina, the play Miguel de Molina al desnudo, written and performed by Ángel Ruiz, accompanied on piano by Juan Luis Bago, returns to the Teatro Infanta Isabel in Madrid (Calle Barquillo, 24) until 25 February.
The versatile actor Ángel Ruiz has won awards for his performance in this play, such as Best Leading Actor from the Actors’ Union, Best Actor Max Awards, Best Performance Hugo Awards in Argentina and Best Leading Actor Spanish Musical Theatre Award X edition.
Miguel de Molina is Spain’s best incarnation of the suggestive mixture of avant-garde and tradition. He brought passion and love to the stage, but was annoying to many for being a mass phenomenon, left-wing and openly homosexual. An artist by race, he was forced to emigrate to Argentina.
In this play, the character returns to tell his truth, from his childhood to his fleeting encounters with Lorca and the torture he suffered after the war. It is not only a tribute to his figure or a musical biography, it is the need to tell through his life something that concerns our present and to place the copla in its rightful place, as a popular art that emerged in times of freedom and seduced greats such as Rafael de León, Manuel de Falla or Lorca himself.
