Antonio Banderas announced today the creation of a production company for the development of television projects and has signed the journalist of TVE and current president of the Television Academy María Casado as head of it .

The production company will be linked to the activity of its Soho CaixaBank Theater , located in Malaga, and the idea is to use its facilities for recording and developing both theater and television content, according to a statement released today by the actor.

In the statement, he explains that the production of television programs in the theater environment "has been present from the beginning of the design of this space", but that it has decided to accelerate its implementation "due to the limitations generated by the crisis situation caused by Covid-19 ".

Promoter, promoter and creator of Soho, Banderas has stated that this new activity maintains the theater philosophy of "producing shows that prioritize and seek quality over benefits, from the field of private investment ."

They will be programs, he adds, that promote "an intimate and close atmosphere with the spectator", so that the latter perceives them "as if they were in one of the seats in the seating area". "That complicity with the public is what will prevail in our proposals," he stresses.

Regarding the incorporation of María Casado , linked to TVE for more than two decades, Banderas has highlighted "her great professionalism , credibility and experience".

"After the magnificent presenter that I had followed for years on television was a restless woman, cultured and full of interesting ideas," says the actor and director from Malaga, who praises her " fresh and innate ability to manage and create spaces television. "

For her part, the Catalan journalist assures that she is adding "with responsibility and great enthusiasm" to this new professional challenge.

"We are going to produce audiovisual content that excites and connects with people through open television, platforms or any screen open to the world," he said.

"We want to create, make them dream, think, tell stories with skin, at a very important moment for an audiovisual sector that is reinventing itself," he says.

The Teatro del Soho Caixabank team is also working on a new program for the reopening "at the moment that the restrictions on the fight against Covid-19 allow it."

Banderas inaugurated this theater last November with the musical "A chorus line" and with Lluis Pasqual at the head of the direction. The Catalan left the project just two months later and his duties have been assumed by the Malaga actor himself and by the executive director, Aurora Rosales.
