Theatre – La Sombra del Tenorio with Cervantes Theatre

ESP: Ha llegado el momento del “mutis final” para Saturnino Morales, un típico actor secundario, enfermo de tuberculosis y apartado en un hospital para pobres. Se prepara para el instante en que “caerá el telón de su vida” y, sin embargo, no quiere despedirse del mundo sin interpretar su personaje soñado: Don Juan Tenorio. Él, que siempre hizo de criado, del gracioso…, del eterno secundario tanto en la vida real, como en el escenario, quiere “en esta postrera hora de su existencia” y, ayudado por un público imaginario que le escucha y le observa desde la oscuridad: subirse en el cartel para ser, aunque sea por una sola y definitiva vez en su vida, el protagonista, el actor principal: DON JUAN TENORIO”

ENG: The time has come for Saturnino Morales, a typical supporting actor, who is ill with tuberculosis and confined to a hospital for the poor.
He is preparing for the moment when “the curtain will fall on his life”, yet he does not want to say goodbye to the world without playing his dream character: Don Juan Tenorio.
He, who always played the servant, the joker…, the eternal secondary character both in real life and on stage, wants “in this last hour of his life” and, with the help of an imaginary audience that listens to him and watches him from the darkness:  to get on the bill, to be, even if only for once in his life, the protagonist, the leading actor: DON JUAN TENORIO.
