Solidarity theater in favor of Aspanion this Saturday in Benidorm

Next Saturday, May 12, at 18.00 in the afternoon, will be performed in the Assembly Hall of Benidorm City Council, with the collaboration of the Department of Culture. the play 'Un marido de ida y vuelta', by Jardiel Poncela, by the Madrid theater group Vita Theatrum, for the benefit of Aspanion, the Association of Children with Cancer,

In the presentation of the event, the Councilor for Culture, Ana Pellicer, who attended the presentation along with the Local Board of Aspanion in Benidorm, Fran Morcuende, recalled that throughout the year "a cycle of amateur theater takes place in which all the performances of amateur theater of our city are included" and that, on occasions like this, groups from other cities are invited to participate, such as Vita Theatrum, based in Madrid, although very linked to the city since one of its members is María Pérez Aguilar from Benidorm.

Ana Pellicer congratulated the theatrical cast "for their energy and tenacity" with which they undertake each of their performances and underlined the charitable nature of the performance: "100% of the proceeds will go full to Aspanion," she said. At the same time she encouraged citizens to spend an afternoon "of the most fun and in the most supportive way". This will be, pointed out the head of Culture, a weekend "full of action" since, in addition to the play 'Un marido de ida y vuelta', on Saturday will also continue the celebrations of the 693 anniversary of the birth of Benidorm as a town with the representation of the Poblament Charter, at 9:00 p.m., at San Jaime square.

On the other hand, Fran Morcuende, he said to feel proud twice over. It is the first time that the association organizes a theatrical performance and Vita Theatrum is of Madrid origin "as I -has underlined- what unites through solidarity my city of origin and my host city". About 'Un marido de ida y vuelta' said that "it fits the motto of the Local Board of Aspanion, which is 'for a smile'. Although I think -he pointed- that more than smiles there will be laughter because Jardiel Poncela is one of the greats of Spanish theater, together with the Brothers Álvarez Quintero ".
