Some classics… of cinema! The theater of the Golden Age on the silver canvas (1914-1975)// In the Lope de Vega House Museum you can find until September 26 an exhibition where it is about showing the adaptations of the baroque theater to the cinema during a great period of the XNUMXth century. The proposals to transfer the dramatic works of authors such as Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca or Tirso de Molina to the cinema are exposed.

This event also shows the public how close the filmmakers were to the baroque classics, but at the same time teaching that on many occasions the vision they had of these works was very different from that of the original authors, since their stories changed a lot. On the other hand, the exhibition includes to its credit a review of the reception that the comedy of the Golden Age obtained in other contexts such as the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich or the Spanish Republican exile, among others.

This exhibition includes projections, drawings, photos, scripts... in general, a large number of cinematographic elements that are of great interest to all lovers of this art. Some of these elements have never been exposed before. These have been taken from museums or cultural institutions such as the Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin, the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation in Wiesbaden or the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, among others.

Ben Bergado. Irreversible// The exhibition of the sculptor Bene Bergado is in the Sala Alcalá 31 in Madrid until July 25. The sample gathers a reflection from different points of view of how the decisions taken in different industries such as food or chemicals affect us consumers. For this, the pieces have been created exclusively for this exhibition since the artist has taken into account the architecture of the room.

Bene Bergado tries to raise awareness through these sculptures on issues of great importance in our current world. Responsibility and constant climate change are some of the most important issues that he tries to expose.

The artist, who tries to mix physical and immaterial materials in her works, divides this exhibition into four rooms: Welfare Trap, Maps of Gaia, Decomposition and Traps. Each interpreting current social problems.

Thematic visit Palacio de Liria Eugenia Emperatriz// With the aim of making Eugenia de Montijo known, the Liria Palace has to its credit a guided tour until July 5. Fifty works are presented to meet the one who was empress of France on her day.

The visit is for small groups and each one will have a guide to learn in detail each and every one of the works in the Empress's private collection, which in turn are related to the Second French Empire.

This exhibition shows us who Eugenia was  of Montijo. Born in Granada in 1826, she married Napoleon III in 1853, thus becoming one of the most outstanding women of her time. She also having a very active role in public affairs. She influenced decisions that affected the State and was very active in supporting social causes. She was a benchmark in the world of fashion and stood out for helping the humble and working classes. In 1862 she founded the Society of the Imperial Prince, to grant credits to the workers.
