MANOLITA CHEN
Manolita Chen, the authentic, is back with her genius, her humour and her story to make us remember.
Manolita returns to the Price to recall a glorious past that nobody remembers, from her beginnings as a Charivari in the Price circus itself, where she also falls in love with Chen Tse-Ping, the love of her life and with whom she sets up her famous Manolita Chen Chinese Theatre, to the toughest moments of decadence and the battle to preserve her own lost identity.
«Manolita Chen, the authentic, is back to make us remember. To show us that behind the glitter is the business and that it’s not all roses in show business. Manolita brings us her genius, her humour and her story. A story that is also the story of our country when it was not always so easy to be an artist. Somehow it is also thanks to her that we are here today to present this tribute to her incredible life. She paved the way for us with her artistic and business perspective, but above all with her enormous strength so that today we can enjoy a different kind of freedom.
Manolita has returned to make us remember but, unwittingly, we are remembering her. And her memory is a precious Chinese tale full of love, struggle and courage. Welcome to the Chinese Theatre of Manolita Chen«.
