Morante de la Puebla, after the milestone in Seville: "I do not want nor do I intend to be a myth"
Inside the last afternoon of Morante's 100: "I have turned my back on the cult of fear"
Concern for Morante's health
Morante de la Puebla had set Easter Sunday to return to the bullring, as EL MUNDO reported, but with the shadow of doubt in the bullfighter's environment, in the bullfighter himself and in his psychiatrist, who was optimistic "with all precautions", according to
Pedro J. Marques
. This Tuesday, Antonio Lorca confirmed it in El País, also through the mouth of his attorney, who clarified minutes later to this newspaper: "Man, he's not up to it either, but he bullfights."
And with the news, Seville has breathed
, where Morante is the base of the subscription. But not only: the entire season could have been greatly affected by her absence - evidently orphaned as a major interpreter of the art of bullfighting - in year I after El Juli.
MdlP was forced to stop after his last afternoon in Arnedo on March 16, suffering not only from a respiratory infection, but mainly from a resurgence of his mental illness that he has been carrying for a year.
The Resurrection poster will be the first on which the "no tickets" is posted
: bulls by Hermanos García Jiménez for Morante de la Puebla, Sebastián Castella and Roca Rey. It is precisely the Peruvian star who leads the box office with the ticket sales in his three afternoons at the Maestranza. To know beyond this coming Sunday:
Saturday, April 13
(bulls of Victorino Martín for Manuel Escribano, Borja Jiménez and Roca Rey) and Saturday
, April 20
(bulls of Victoriano del Río - Bulls of Cortés for Juan Ortega , Roca Rey and Pablo Aguado).
The other afternoon that already has the finished paper is the one called "of art" with Morante at the head of a shortlist composed of Daniel Luque and Juan Ortega (Monday, April 15 with bulls by
Domingo Hernández
)
