Until next December 15, the Teatro Español de Madrid (calle del Príncipe, 25-Plaza de Santa Ana) celebrates the centenary of the work Luces de Bohemia, by writer Ramón Valle-Inclán, with a large production that brings together 25 interpreters.
When the final edition of Luces de Bohemia, published by Valle Inclán in 1924, is 100 years old, the Teatro Español celebrates this event by presenting the play for the first time in its history.
With version and direction of Eduardo Vasco, the Spanish bet on a great production with Ginés García Millán as Max Estrella and Antonio Molero as Latino de Hispalis.
Considered a masterpiece of 20th century Spanish theatre, Luces de Bohemia inaugurated the spermium as a literary genre. The work recounts the journey of the blind poet Max Estrella, who together with Latino de Hispalis, travels through the most characteristic places of the night in Madrid, in a city that was convulsed and violent during those days of social conflicts, Finding on his way to different characters of the Madrid bohemian era, dark and sordid.
The artistic director of the Teatro Español, Eduardo Vasco, takes over the version and the direction of a text full of poetry, with moments of enormous beauty and seasoned with a severe criticism both to the prevailing social injustice and to the endemic Spanish political corruption. Vasco, in addition, has been responsible for designing the sound space and even compose original passages for the staging, which features the scenery and props of Carolina González, lighting by Miguel Angel Camacho and costumes by Lorenzo Caprile.
