Natalia Huarte's Leonora Carrington Monologue Triumphs at Olite Festival

festival-fair · 2026-07-30

Natalia Huarte, a 36-year-old actress from Pamplona, performed 'Leonora', a monologue written and directed by Alberto Conejero about painter Leonora Carrington, at the Festival de Olite in Navarra. The performance, set beneath the walls of the castle of Olite, showcased her freedom and scenic wisdom. Huarte, who moved to Madrid 16 years ago to study theater, is now experiencing a moment of conquered maturity and full artistic command. The audience at the festival responded enthusiastically to her hour-long display of acting, body, and word. Huarte has been more focused on film and series (Legado, Innato, Querer) in the last two years, while continuing her theater work. The article also notes the death of actor Manolo Solo at 62, a Goya winner for 'Tarde para la ira'.
