Despite the pandemic and its limitations, Miguel Rascón also premiered “LA LLAMABAN TULA” in December at the theater of the National Museum of Romanticism in Madrid. On this occasion he signs the authorship and direction of a show that travels between the biopic and the theater, a document about the life of the author Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda.
