Juan Diego Botto's 'Una noche sin luna' returns to Teatro Español
Juan Diego Botto's acclaimed play 'Una noche sin luna' has returned to the main stage of Teatro Español in Madrid, with all performances sold out. The play features Botto portraying poet Federico García Lorca, who rises from his grave to address the audience, blending historical memory with contemporary politics. Directed by Peris-Mencheta with set design by Curt Allen Wilmer, the production originally premiered in 2020 and toured over thirty theaters across Spain until 2023. The Teatro Español's main space has been literally falling apart since the play's opening last week, yet the strength of Botto's performance and the production's quality have created a powerful impact on audiences.
