Ángel Ruiz and Bru Ferri star in this show that blends theatre, music, and poetry from the Golden Age. It will be performed in Torrejón de Ardoz.
Torrejón de Ardoz will host the upcoming theatrical event The King of Showbiz, a show that promises to transport the audience to the splendour and decadence of the court of Philip IV. The play, starring Ángel Ruiz and Bru Ferri, is presented as a cabaret from the Golden Age in which Lope de Vega, Quevedo, and Calderón converse with the music of Monteverdi, José Marín, and Juan Hidalgo.
The production revolves around a mysterious character, a blend of actor, comedian, singer, and jester, who acts as the connecting thread. This being, lover, confidant, and spy, reveals secrets and anecdotes from the court, offering a human and emotional view of the monarch and his time. With an androgynous and baroque aesthetic, the protagonist, accompanied by his inseparable pianist, performs Renaissance and baroque songs, recites poems by Quevedo, and stages passages from Lope and Calderón.
The show, lasting 80 minutes, is recommended for those aged 16 and over. The play combines a sarcastic and provocative tone with touching moments, merging the past and present without temporal barriers. Attendees will enjoy a versatile and vibrant proposal that celebrates the peak of the arts in the Spanish Empire, but also its decline.
The event will take place in the municipality, where the audience can immerse themselves in this unique experience. It is recommended to check the cultural programme of the Torrejón de Ardoz City Council for the exact date and ticket sales.
