Oia’s Cinderella conquers Madrid
The same old story, as never before. Cinderella dazzles once again, this time from Oia to Madrid.
La Voz de Galicia tells how La Fiesta Escénica’s new Cenicienta turned the Teatro Circo Price into a grand ballroom and, on its first day, sold out tickets for the whole week. This version was created specifically for the “Circo y libro” season.
The newspaper sets out the keys to the production: a set 18 metres wide and 8 metres high that turns 180 degrees to move from the palace to the countryside, more than 5,000 Swarovski crystals in the costumes and an international cast of almost 30 artists. ‘We’ve premiered a completely new format,’ explains Abel Martín, founder and artistic director.
The report also recalls the company’s long relationship with this fairy tale: in 2013, under the title Cenerentola, it took the story to the Auditorium Conciliazione, in the Vatican.
