SYNOPSIS In October 2024, the Soho CaixaBank Theater will host the Spanish premiere of Gypsy, the iconic musical of American theater. Antonio Banderas, both the director and adaptor of the play, reflects on the driving forces behind art, the significance of the work, his closest collaborators, and the philosophy that inspired his return to his homeland from Hollywood to bring a dream to life: a theater, and even the transformation of a city.
