Aguántame el cubata con música en vivo

A production from the Sala Guirau of the Teatro Fernán Gómez that draws on fragments of Don Juan Tenorio by José Zorrilla and presents them through the eyes of Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí, with humour and experimentation.

This in-house theatre production takes fragments of José Zorrilla's Don Juan Tenorio in a free version directed by Juan Mairena. The show looks at the myth through Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí, at a time when they were not yet the celebrated figures they are today.

The starting point is the 1924 experiment at the Residencia de Estudiantes, where these three creators staged a surrealist reworking of Zorrilla's myth. Humour, the unconscious and experimentation challenged the theatrical conventions of the day. Maruja Mallo, Pepín Bello, Margarita Manso and José Moreno Villa also moved in their circle, with improvised rehearsals, debates about Freud and a constant urge to break away from the established order.

Beyond satire, the play shows that group of friends with their hopes and insecurities, and gives a leading role to Maruja Mallo and Margarita Manso, two key figures of the Generation of '27.
