Jaime Lorente will represent Lorca in Un Poeta en Nueva York and we give you all the details.

In 1929, Federico García Lorca lived in New York, specifically as a student at Columbia University, that phase of his life was captured in a book where he uncovers the city and injustice, dehumanization, which he feels is taking over society because it is present in a of the coldest metropolises in the world. Lorca’s book seems like a cry of warning to humanity in defense of art, beauty, life and the human, and Jorge Naranjo tries to reflect this in his work Un Poeta en Nueva York, where we will have Jaime Lorente, Denver in La Casa de Papel, representing one of the most present poets, always alive in artistic movements, in defense of freedom and justice throughout the world: Federico García Lorca.

If we analyze it, it was difficult to find a more suitable actor for this role than Jaime Lorente, in La Casa de Papel and El Cid, with two different historical and personal approaches, represents a cry of rebellion and resistance, defense of the weakest and almost always having to fight against greater forces. In the case of Un Poeta en Nueva York, the major force against which he fights is cultural, moral, social, imposed on society and against which Lorca fights like Quijote, armed with his pen and his social conscience.

Jorge Naranjo’s work was selected for the Film Academy Residences, a project that helps finance audiovisual projects and contributes to the training of rising filmmakers.

Great challenges await Jorge Naranjo and Jaime Lorente for the recording of this series of six episodes. Federico García Lorca was a free soul, a poet who played the piano and drew attention wherever he came, his presence was similar to that of a rock artist many years later and this is also tried to be captured clearly in the series. On the other hand, the sensitive side of him was opened to the public during his stay in New York. It was in those years when he wrote “El Público”, a theatrical piece where he expresses the theme of homosexuality, in years where he moves between Havana and New York.

In addition to this, the New York of the time must be recreated, something decisive to understand the poet’s air, his uneasiness when noticing the way of life and thought in that great city, a challenge for which we know that Jaime Lorente is prepared and Jorge Naranjo more than inspired. Everything goes in homage to the memory of a great like Lorca.
