The Rojas hosts the 'Beautiful Milana' in a version of the Delibes classic, 'The Holy Innocents'

The stage of the Teatro de Rojas is getting ready to receive this Sunday at 8:00 p.m., the theatrical version of the novel by Miguel Delibes, 'The innocent saints', a show that counts among its protagonists Javier Gutiérrez (Paco the bass), Luis Bermejo (Azarías), Pepa Pedroche (Régula), Jacobo Dicenta (El Señorito Iván) and Fernando Huesca (Don Pedro), playing the same characters that in their day were played on screen by the splendid Paco Rabal, Alfredo Landa, Terele Pávez, Juan Diego (recently deceased) and Agustín González, in the film adaptation directed by Mario Camus in 1984.

In this show, directed by Javier Hernández-Simón and adapted by Fernando Marías and the director himself, the audience will be able to enjoy a scene frozen in time, the motionless memory of a story of hunger, humiliation and moral misery.

The profile of a man with a suitcase in each hand is drawn against the beam of light that reveals an open door.

The theatrical piece recreates, on a stripped-down stage, with three doors and a pile of belongings stacked vertically, the countryside and the farmhouse, the hunting scenes, domestic life in the shack or the displays of power and mistreatment in the rooms of the gentlemen. Luis Bermejo and Javier Gutiérrez take on the difficulty of embodying two of those iconic characters that two greats played at the time: Paco Rabal and Juan Diego. But the 'Milana Bonita' will also fly over the boards of the Rojas.

In an interview with ABC, Javier Hernández acknowledges that Delibes in his novel spoke to us about labor exploitation, of the working class, of privileges that are inherited and hierarchies that endure, of due obedience and trampled rights, of owners of fortunes and owners of misery. Situations that are still so valid, despite the passage of time.
