”In 2000, I began work on a script I had been commissioned to write for a film. I knew all about Urtain. His story cannot be merely limited to that of a fallen idol whose story ends with a mortal leap into oblivion. I decided to begin at the end, with which everyone is familiar, and move backwards to the beginning, entwined in the atavistic darkness of deep Spain”.  The life of the famous boxer has inspired Juan Cavestany to turn what was to have been a project for the big screen into a good tragicomedy and Andrés Lima to turn into a stage production with great effect.

With a ring, four stools, numerous microphones, nine actors and one glass we trace the life of the famous boxer José Manuel Ibar 'Urtain', the story of a man from the time of his death to his birth, as the stories of people no longer with us should be told. After having been a media star and risen to fame from very humble origins, Urtain committed suicide after years of failure and depression. Urtain is pain the result of such misery and the inability to blame anyone and, therefore, rises above the boxing persona to end up talking about an unfortunate human being like anyone else. With him on stage are Pedro Carrasco, Rocío Jurado, Franco, Paco Martínez Soria, Adolfo Suárez, Raphael, Manuel Alcántara, Vicente Gil and María Morales and Estefanía de los Santos, his two wives.

José Manuel Ibar Azpiazu was born on 14 May 1943 in the hamlet of Urtain de Arrona (Guipúzcoa), from which he would take his sports name and the name by which he would become known as European heavyweight boxing champion in 1970. He died on 21July 1992 after jumping from the terrace of his home in Madrid.
