El sueño de un poeta. Miguel Hernández

Contemporary theatre show paying tribute to the poet Miguel Hernández with two performers, a poetic narration and live piano, at the Sala Jardiel Poncela of the Teatro Fernán Gómez.

This contemporary theatre show pays tribute to the poet Miguel Hernández through a narrative that interweaves poetic, theatrical and musical resources. The dramaturgy, signed by Amparo Climent, draws on the biography and literary output of the author, and its central themes are those that run through his verses: love, war, prison, death, injustice and hope, which follow one another in alternation.

On stage, Amparo Climent and Gloria Vega perform, and the original music, by Gloria Vega and Maru Mararía, is performed with live piano by Maru Mararía. Direction is by Jesús Cracio, who proposes a journey through Spanish history to place the poet's work in the era in which he lived. The show lasts about 70 minutes.

The tone combines different registers and an emotional balance that avoids both dramatic intensity and solemnity. The production is staged in the Sala Jardiel Poncela of the Teatro Fernán Gómez.
