Since January 23, Antonio Molero has been starring in 'Luces de bohemia' at the Teatro Español in Madrid, a play that is considered one of the most important works of Spanish literature, written by Ramón María del Valle-Inclán in 1920. In this production directed by Eduardo Vasco, Molero plays Don Latino de Híspalis, who accompanies Max Estrella, a blind and impoverished poet, on his last journey through a dark and bohemian Madrid. This revival in Madrid comes after a highly successful run in the previous season.

The play is a sharp satire that critiques social injustice and political corruption, establishing its place as a landmark in the genre of esperpento since its publication. It gained significant acclaim last season, winning several awards, which has raised high expectations for the current iteration. Molero reflects on this pressure by stating that expectations can be dangerous, especially when one has experienced success over the years in their career, suggesting a deeper insight into the challenges faced by actors in high-stakes theater environments.

The themes of social critique and the exploration of the darker sides of urban life resonate strongly with contemporary audiences, making 'Luces de bohemia' relevant even today. As the cast, led by Molero and Ginés García Millán, prepares to deliver a performance that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, it highlights not just their individual talents, but also the enduring power of theatrical works to comment on societal issues.
