Azaña, una pasión española does not intend to be a historically accurate account or a review of the politics of Manuel Azaña. It is rather an articulate and self-contained show where the actor engages in a game of lights and shadows with the audience.
Azaña’s words are arranged into three categories: life and politics, ideas on the history of Spain – with references to the real meaning of the Republic, laicism and the Spanish Civil War –, and reflections on art and landscape in Spain – a common thread in his works, which has its due relevance here.
The Arriaga Theatre is staging two Teatro de La Abadía productions starring José Luis Gómez, where he impersonates two key figures of Spanish politics and thought: Manuel Azaña and Miguel de Unamuno.
