Barricades 2024 is pleased to announce Luciano Muriel as one of our Guests of Honour for this year’s convention.
Muriel is a playwright, novelist and secondary school teacher. He’s been awarded with the National Theater Prize “Castelló a Escena” for Vals para el pez piedra, the International Award of Youth Theater of the Editorial DALYA for Stop Amargura, the first prize in the XXVII National Contest «Calamonte Joven» for Angélica, with the Prize “Sapere Aude” of the Ávila Arts and the Youth Humanities Award of Castilla y León for Grantaire, text that was also selected by the Aid for Youth Creation 2017 program of the National Institute of Youth (INJUVE) for its production. Muriel’s panel will detail the creative process behind the show Grantaire, from the discovery of the character during the first reading of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables to the opening night of the staging at the Teatro Pradillo of Madrid. It will cover questions including: Why Grantaire? Why a dramatic monologue? Why include Amaral songs? What did the awards and subventions entail? Muriel promises all the answers to these and many other questions!
The date and time of Muriel’s panel are still being finalized.
