An evocative and theatrical moment, sad and joyful at the same time.
The actor José Sacristán read the unfinished speech that Antonio Machado wrote to enter the RAE between 1929 and 1932 and that he never presented in public. Sacristán not only read the text. He also represented Machado in an almost formal ceremony, which, in turn, recreated the day in which the poet from Seville should have entered the Royal Spanish Academy.
To complete this theater piece, the playwright and academic Juan Mayorga read the traditional laudation that responds to the speeches of the new academics. It was a text written by Santiago Muñoz Machado but it was also a representation and a fiction because his voice in the first person was presented as that of José Martínez Ruiz, Azorín, the academic who too Machado to the doors of the RAE.
