The actress Pepa Rus<\/strong> stars in the comic monologue \u00a1Viva la Pepa!,<\/em><\/strong> directed by Juan Luis Iborra,<\/strong> which opens on Wednesday 30 June at the Teatro Bellas Artes<\/strong> in Madrid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The actress from C\u00e1diz takes on a solo performance of a text about the broken toys of today’s society, written to suit her own needs. The play tells the story of Pepa, a woman with no future, a single mother of twins who lives her life fed only by the air she breathes and, perhaps, by the positivity and the smile she never loses in the face of so much bitterness. But suddenly everything changes and, overnight, she unwittingly becomes a heroine. The media make her the most popular person of the moment and politicians, journalists and television programmes are all vying for her. Her grey life seems to turn pink and the promises of help for her children, for her rent, for everything, are gradually forgotten. Faced with so many lies, Pepa decides to make a fist on the table and take the reins, taking advantage of the fact that she has not yet lost her popularity. She wants to be mayor of her city, Melilla. Who said she couldn’t be?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The actress Pepa Rus stars in the comedy monologue \u00a1Viva la Pepa!, which opens on 30 June at the Teatro Bellas Artes in Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leisure"],"yoast_head":"\n
