THEATER Madrid, capital of musicals
INTERVIEW El Mago Pop: "From Madrid I am amazed that any day of the week there is life"
Carmelo Gómez
(Sahagún, León, 1962) did not think "at all" to come to Madrid with his work
A vueltas con Lorca
. He believed it was impossible to break the "private preserve" of the capital's theaters with a poetic party like his, a "
special show
" that after touring Spain with a trailer takes shape at the Teatro de La Abadía.
«I don't want to call it a function, a show, or as
performantists do
, an installation.
It's about going out on stage '
body to body
', as
Federico García Lorca said
, and meeting the audience.
But not yesterday or the day before yesterday, today.
The pianist
Mikhail Studyonov
and I appear there with a text that, except for Federico's poems, is not fixed.
It is very free.
We live what happens at each moment and a different function appears each time according to the temperature of the public ", summarizes Carmelo Gómez about what offers his original tribute to the Granada-born author - and"
his panoramic and universal heart
"- will be performed from
18 to November 28
.
The Cava Baja.ANTONIO HEREDIA
A STREET
"It's a cliché, but my street is
Cava Baja
, without a doubt. I started there when I came to Madrid, all over that area. I also lived along Calle de Embajadores, around San Cayetano ... But Cava Baja It has brought the Madrid of the rascals, that of the gentlemen, that of the ladies ... all that classic world that has always fascinated me and that is another beautiful imprint of what Madrid was in its time. All that is in the environment from Cava Baja, which is why I still go for a drink from time to time. "
A STORE
"I'm a regular at
hardware stores
. I've been putting my fingers on the Black & Decker for several days, even though I know it's better to have a professional come home. Because cisterns, for example, can seem like bullshit, but then they end up getting tangled up a lot . I have changed all of them at home, but I only know how the button is pressed, because when someone else does it, they keep pouring water. I don't know if I made a mess in the end, but ... The more complicated those things get
they further distance us
from being able to solve them. But we must not give up. "
The Golem Madrid Cinemas.
A CINEMA
"I have always liked
the Golems
very much
. I have gotten to know the owners personally, when I was very into cinema, and we did the premieres there. The truth is that they are people who always have
an extraordinary affection for cinema
. seen great films there is because they have brought them, because they have not always been guided by the commercial. Suddenly there you could see things that were not found anywhere else ".
The Abbey Theater.
A THEATER
"
The Theater of La Abadía
has all the necessary elements. Maybe it lacks shoulders, rods ... all this that the big theaters had and that little by little have been erased. But what I like about La Abadía is that it was
a temple
. And I think that the theater also has that power: that of arousing, that of taking away the routine; that of casting out the problems and focusing exclusively on the dream. That is also what religion does but the twist it gives art is that, precisely,
it is not dogmatic
. That is, we let the spectator dream and who wants to go to the otherworld freely. "
El Capricho Park SERGIO GONZÁLEZ
A PLACE TO TAKE A PHOTO
"
El Capricho Park
. In it the people are very friendly. The workers are very close people. Although it has been crowded lately, it is a highly recommended place. A lot. The truth is that Madrid has a
billion corners
. Let people lose their minds in this city! But El Capricho is quite unknown at certain levels. Some of our readers may find it strange, but it is a place worth taking a walk through. It is a delight of the place , and to that we must add everything that it represented at a certain moment in history, and also in our intrahistory: who ran it, how that park worked and how it ended up being public. The one there is
a photo that I keep with affection
".
A 'DELIVERY' SERVICE
"Generally, I don't order food. What's more, I have no memory of ever ordering anything for home."
Captain Alatriste's Tavern SERGIO ENRÍQUEZ
A RESTAURANT
"I have a problem with restaurants today. I'm going to tell you in little: some are very unfriendly. Since mass tourism has arrived,
the humanity
of the nearby establishment
has been lost
. Of course there are places that I can recommend, but others ... there is the one who is excessively excessive, constantly pouring wine on you without you wanting to drink. Come over there to bring the bottle! They end up being cloying, they go overboard with that strange proximity. And then there is the opposite: that thing so
indifferent and cold
that almost all the waiters in the world of catering have shown lately. But let's pay tribute to
Arturo Pérez-Reverte
, who is a great friend, and let's highlight
La Taberna del Capitán Alatriste
".
