BOHEMIAN LIGHTS is the story of Max Estrella, a blind poet, on the last night of his life. In the streets of Madrid, the city is self-destructing, the country on the verge of revolution. Through a groundbreaking integration of film with live theatre, BOHEMIAN LIGHTS unravels a dark whirlwind satire of political Spain and her starving artists. This production represents not only the world premiere of a new adaptation of Ramón Valle-Inclán's masterwork "Luces de Bohemia," but also the English-language U.S. premiere, and only the second ever U.S. production in any capacity.
