From 11 to 14 May, the Jameos del Agua Auditorium, on the island of Lanzarote, will host a César Manrique musical, a show that explains the passions, desires and frustrations of a genius who defended independence of thought, commitment to his land, the value of creativity, the symbiosis between nature and art, the environment, the combination of tradition and modernity and the transmutation of nature into a tourist attraction without touching its essence.
According to the organisers, this production, which will bring together more than 36 actors and musicians, has been carried out with the supervision of the César Manrique Foundation and the support of Culture and Tourism, as well as the Lanzarote Tourist Centres.
In this way, the director of the musical, Israel Reyes, encouraged the public to attend this play and witness the hard work of the team that makes it up, and assures that the adaptation that will be performed in the Jameos del Agua Auditorium will have a “unique emotional element”.
With an approximate running time of 95 minutes the César Manrique musical shows some of the most transcendental scenes in the artist’s life, from his childhood summers in Famara to his maturity in Madrid and in Andy Warhol’s New York, as well as his friendship with Pepe Dámaso in Agaete.
Finally, tickets for this show can be purchased on the platform https://www.ecoentradas.com/ for 30 euros.
