Every time I represent it I especially enjoy. I have never stopped connecting with the public in a special way. The satisfaction of joy cannot be faked and I truly enjoy this work. El Lazarillo and I have received much more than we have both given. The affective and emotional compensation is very great and the relief and tranquility greater. This fictional creature was born with a very special destiny and that is why he is still here.
Like from day one, I feel an enormous privilege to be able to give my voice and my body to this gem of literature.. This entity from the imaginary world could change the real world because it makes an art of hunger and need, recycles it into wisdom. In the face of pain we have two paths: the complaint or the art. and with irony, part of the state of the fool, walk through learning and achieve wisdom. El Lazarillo is about marginalization, hunger and the hard experience of childhood. The parallels between the world of the infant who accompanies the blind and the situation of so many third world children who die of starvation are obvious.. History repeats itself over and over again. As almost always, This situation is the consequence of a world of imbalances in which goods are unbalanced. And it is born from the lack of awareness of the value of life.
The work faces a universal problem: Today also the current desire moves around ambition and power. It's like a metaphor that everyone understands, it's a world, a well of life and meanings that lead you. It was born in a time of enormous imbalances between the official world of the Court and the real one., of hunger. And before just like now, you can't be happy in an unhappy world, because abused lives have to do with yours. At least I can't.
For all this, because Fernán Gómez knew how to capture the soul of this rogue, because I am passionate about reciting his adventures through the theaters; here is this wonderful story, paramount for me, as it is to serve the needs of the public at all times. A necessity that can be fun, of clarification, relaxing, of a silence or a scream. Namely.
