The burning chapel of Marisa Paredes at the Spanish Theater will be open to the public for two hours | Culture

The actress Marisa Paredes, one of the most emblematic figures of Spanish cinema and theater, died this Tuesday at the age of 78. The Film Academy has reported that the burning chapel to say goodbye to the Madrid interpreter will be installed at the Spanish Theater in Madrid this Wednesday, December 18. The public can come to pay tribute to him between ten and twelve o’clock.

With a career spanning more than five decades, Paredes was a fundamental face in Pedro Almodóvar’s cinema, with iconic films such as Far Heels o The flower of my secret. In addition to his talent on the big screen, he stood out in the theater, showing his versatility and interpretive strength. The actress presided over the Film Academy between 2000 and 2003, a period in which she defended the importance of cinema as cultural heritage. He received the Goya of Honor in 2018.

At a family event at the San Isidro funeral home, Chema Prado – his partner for the last four decades – and María Isasi – his only daughter – were accompanied this Tuesday by the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the president of the Academy of Cinema, Fernando Méndez-Leite, among other personalities.

The Spanish Theater, an emblematic space in the city of Madrid, will open its doors this Wednesday so that colleagues, friends and the public who admired her can say goodbye to the performer. The burning chapel will be installed in the main room of the venue.
