Mihura’s life, on stage
On 23 October 2026, Teatre El Musical (TEM) hosts Mihura, el último comediógrafo, a production paying tribute to Miguel Mihura (1905-1977), one of Spain’s greatest playwrights. Created by Nave 10 Matadero and Entrecajas, the play goes beyond a simple review of his bibliography, exploring the contrasts of a life dedicated to humour and theatre, yet marked by adversity. Mihura, the author of works like Tres sombreros de copa, is portrayed as a character straight out of his own comedies: a man who turned humour into a tool to face reality, even during Spain’s most turbulent times.
Humour and resistance
The script explores how Mihura used comedy as an act of resistance, writing with wit and courage in a tumultuous era. His legacy, built on "slip-ups with pear skins" and belated recognition, remains relevant today. The play invites reflection on the power of laughter as a way to transcend reality, even when it seems unbearable.
