Poetic show dedicated to Rafael Alberti

The theatre group of the Ateneu de Maó, with Laura Pons in charge, is preparing a poetic show dedicated to the Spanish poet Rafael Alberti, for the centenary of his birth, that will premier on May 11 at 9 p.m. in the Sala Augusta in Maó.

The tribute to the poet from Cadiz, that can also be seen the following day, May 12 at 8 p.m., will have different participations. On the one hand the Menorcan soprano, Maria Camps will interpret poems by Alberti with music by Montsalvatge, accompanied by the Mallorcan pianist, David Moedano. On the other hand, young Carlos Mangado, with his guitar, will also sing poems by Alberti, with music by Paco Ibáñez.

A recital by Jordi Ordí, Joan Cubas, Manel Soldevila, Laura Pons and Pili Lucena completes this production that will have luxurious scenery by Andreu Sànchez and lighting by Pere Fiol. The decor will not forget the poet's plastic facet and will include a composition based on blowups of his paintings carried out by Glòria Sbert.

According to Laura Pons, director of the theatre group of the Ateneu of Maó, it is foreseen that after the premier in Maó the work will be presented in other parts of the island, but "this depends on the Department of Culture" of the Consell de Menorca, who collaborates in this production.
