| 'Halleluyas de Luces de bohemia' has been made on the occasion of the centenary of the publication of the work de Valle-Incl n, held at the end of 2020 | The Murcia City Council has published the comic 'Aleluyas de Luces de Bohemia.
Esperpento by Don Ramón del Valle-Inclán ', with a version and illustrations by César Oliva, advisor to the Municipal Theaters of Murcia. The comic, which is being delivered this week for free at the box offices of the Teatro Romea and the Teatro Circo Murcia, has been made on the occasion of the centenary of the famous work starring Max Estrella, which was published in installments in the weekly 'España ', the last one being dated October 23, 1920.
The current edition, with a circulation of 3,000 copies, has been produced in collaboration with the University of Murcia and the Valle-Inclán Chair of the University of Santiago de Compostela. Oliva, doctor in Hispanic Philology from the University of Murcia, pedagogue, author, theater director and great connoisseur of Valle-Inclán's work, has produced this version of one of the key texts of 20th century Spanish literature "with the maximum respect and even maximum devotion ", as he explains in the text that opens the comic, where he confesses" an almost sickly affection "towards the author and towards 'Luces de bohemia', a text that he has staged on several occasions as stage director . In addition to commemorating the centenary of 'Luces de bohemia', Oliva says that another of the objectives when making this illustrated version stems from his "teaching vocation", when thinking about how he could help young people have a reading guide and knowledge of the Valle-Inclán text.
For this reason, he captured the fifteen scenes of 'Luces de bohemia' on fifteen plates, with an aesthetic close to the world of youth and carrying out a complex synthesis exercise after multiple readings; Narrating in a very visual way the nocturnal journey through Madrid of Max Estrella with Don Latino de Hispalis. Margarita Santos Zas, from the University of Santiago de Compostela, also signs another text that closes these 'Hallelujahs of Bohemian Lights'.
Some "hallelujahs of that Madrid 'absurd, brilliant and hungry'" that, reading them, he affirms, "reveal an immense effort of synthesis that guides, with fidelity to the original, those who have not read this work and that is worth as a reminder for those who enjoyed reading it previously.
" A textual synthesis that joins some images "that enhance the text, by suggesting in a lyrical, pathetic, ironic or dramatic way the adventures of the blind poet, without ever losing the deep critical charge that distills against the past and present of Spain that its author has had to live ". Next theatrical version 'Luces de bohemia' premiered at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris on March 21, 1963, with George Wilson as director and protagonist, In Spain it was presented for the first time in Bilbao, on November 10, 1966, directed by Luis María Iturri, although the premiere that appears as official was held on October 1, 1970, at the Principal Theater in Valencia, with a staging by José Tamayo. Since then, 'Luces de bohemia' has been represented in our country on several occasions and, in fact, will return to the stage of Murcia in the second half of this 2021, thanks to a new production that will have the support of the Municipal Theaters of Murcia.
It is a montage that was scheduled to premiere in 2020, coinciding with the aforementioned centenary, but whose launch had to be postponed due to the situation arising from the health alert.
