lending his voice to Ika Chu, a villain who will make the protagonist's life bitter.

Defining Latre is not easy.

Not even he clarifies himself ("perhaps it is, like the name of my show, a

one man show

". But, when he mentions that his daughter has just turned 16, asking him how she saw him when she was younger makes him reflect: "

I am an imitator, which is what defines me at the public level, but I am very much a

showman

. Years ago, my daughter said a lot that I was a "theatre person" because she saw me there almost as much as on television."

When people approach Carlos Latre, almost everyone congratulates him.

"

It's beautiful when people thank you from the bottom of their hearts for making them laugh

," he explains with a smile on his face.

"Especially after the pandemic. Making people laugh and enjoying themselves has become much more important. And

it's very nice to be a transmitter of good vibes."

Time passes and Carlos Latre is very aware of it.

"Soon it will be 25 years of the

Martian Chronicles

. And now I begin to meet people who tell me: 'I see you just like my daughter and granddaughter do'. It's very cool and I'm delighted with my life and with the passing of the I

always say to myself: 'Do you remember when you dreamed of being where you are?'

So I can only be thankful..."

Of all the people he has imitated, the artist speaks with particular interest of politicians.

"I'm glad that people from different parties like it.

The last one who congratulated me was Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the president of the Community of Madrid, who told me that she loved

it. I agreed with her and she was very kind and A lot of sense of humor. Just like the mayors of Madrid and Vigo. But also vice presidents, people in the Royal House... I think everyone sees that the background is positive and there is no evil. I have a good vibe with all political classes.

Now , when I talk to politicians, I ask them for more humor, tranquility and normalcy

. I think they take a distance from people who are not positive. "

THE MADRID OF... CARLOS LATRE

THEATER.

New Apollo Theater.

“I have had the opportunity to act in many theaters in the capital.

I started at the Teatro Calderón, then I went through Gran Vía and the last thing I did was at the Nuevo Alcalá.

Now I arrive at a new theater or, rather, remade, which makes me very excited.

I hope I can fill you with laughter in the fall with my

One Man Show

».

A MADRID NEIGHBORHOOD.

The letters.

"I love those streets that have been renovated in recent times and that you can walk through without stopping to discover things."

ART SPACES.

Thyssen Museum and SOLO Collection.

“My family is very artistic.

I am the son and grandson of painters.

Many times I have told the anecdote that my grandfather was called Walt Disney.

So, for one reason or another, whenever I have time I like to see museums. I love going to

the Thyssen Museum

.

Why?

I think it has perfect dimensions to wear it many times.

You don't get overwhelmed and you can see traveling and classic collections that you like to review.

And, then, I would also like to add the

SOLO Collection

, which is next to the Puerta de Alcalá and of whose artistic worlds I declare myself a great fan».

A PHOTO FOR INSTAGRAM.

Alcala Gate.

«In my Instagram avatar I have a black and white photo in which I appear jumping on a zebra crossing located next to the Puerta de Alcalá.

I am fascinated by the moments that manage to break with normality.

Situations such as, for example, seeing a musician playing in the middle of the street».

A STORE.

Factory.

“It is a place where you have almost everything.

It is, at the same time, a bookstore, a photo shop, a cafe and houses a photo collection.

A very artistic universe that I love because it seems that you can stop time and start writing right there.

A RESTAURANT.

Sasha.

“It is one of my favorite corners in the world.

Of all the great proposals that my dear friend Sacha prepares, I prefer his spider crab lasagna or his vague omelette, copied and imitated throughout the world».

A SECRET CORNER.

Cat's Alley.

«When I was very little I liked to walk through the Callejón del Gato and discover the vision offered by those mirrors that distort reality.

I love that Valleinclanesco Madrid where you feel comfortable walking on a summer night.

With a bit of breeze, of course.
