Miguel EN Cervantes

Guided tour of the exhibition with David Rubín and Miguelanxo Prado.

Miguel EN Cervantes aims to bring Miguel de Cervantes to contemporary readers over the course of the year celebrating the fourth centenary of his death through one of his shorter pieces, El retablo de las maravillas (The marvellous puppet show), a work in which the author looks at fiction and reality and the challenge of autobiography.

The project, commissioned by the i con i team, uses a language that has been passed down through time: illustration. Two of Spain’s most outstanding illustrators, David Rubín and Miguelanxo Prado have been tasked, through different graphic and narrative languages, to create a powerful dialogue between the comic and the illustration and between Cervantes’ El retablo de las maravillas and the most passionate scenes from the life of the author.
