Divinas Palabras

Héctor Urién performs ‘Divinas palabras’, a literary text brought to the stage through the esperpento and black humour, at La Butaca Amarilla in Madrid.

Héctor Urién returns to perform a literary text in this production, with a personal reading that combines comedy, irony and tenderness. The story moves in the register of the esperpento, where black humour mixes with costumbrismo.

Events push that mix to the limit: things progressively get worse as the show goes on, and audiences may encounter scenes of intense emotional weight. The characters, the dialogue and the structure of the plot are the elements that hold the spectator's attention from beginning to end.

The show is staged at La Butaca Amarilla, a Madrid venue that hosts shows. It is advisable to come prepared for the strong situations in the plot.
