• Controversy in 2018.Lís Pasqual resigns from the Lliure, a month and a half after a complaint of despotism

Lluís Pasqual , until now director of the Teatro del Soho, the scenic space inaugurated by Antonio Banderas in Malaga only two months ago, announced on Wednesday that he left office after having helped Malaga "to the madness of opening a theater and doing ' A Chorus Line 'at the same time as an actor. "

In a statement sent by the Teatro del Soho, Pasqual explained that Banderas offered him that position at a time in his life where he only wanted to dedicate himself to his "artistic part", to his "stage director's job, without any other kind of responsibilities in a theater beyond what happens on a stage. "

"But Antonio needed several hands to grab for the dream to be concrete and real. And one of those hands thought it was mine. At the same time he offered me his at a time not especially easy for me , even if that is history." , Pasqual adds, referring to his departure from the Lliure Theater in Barcelona after a complaint of despotism.

Now, "childbirth has occurred", the first part "could not go better" when the Soho Theater opened "with an unbeatable show" and Banderas "has not released a toy, as someone could think, but has responsibly had a son".

"The Theater of Soho - inaugurated on November 15 - is a son of Antonio Banderas and I think, as I thought from the beginning, although he himself did not know, that there is no one better than him to direct it ," he said The theater director.

He added that Banderas had "entrusted him with the crutch and the rapier", but now he has to " return the tackle to kill because now the teacher, to continue in bullfighting language, is him."

Pasqual believes he has fulfilled what Banderas asked him , "to accompany him in that birth, especially to bring him people, who in turn have brought other people and other ideas and that constitute the birth of a highly trained and loyal team to a theater idea" .

In the same statement, Banderas has thanked "from the heart" to Pasqual "the effort, work and love he has put to light the Teatro del Soho", because "from his wisdom as a seasoned theater architect he has contributed to building this theater with solid foundations "that shape his" dream "of having a theater in his city.

Banderas has thanked the theater director for his "sincere friendship" and has summoned him next February, when the "Romancero Roma" directed by Pasqual will be represented at the Teatro del Soho.
