Red is the greatest theatrical success of playwright and scriptwriter John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator, Skyfall). This is the first time it is performed in Spain.
Mark Rothko, one of the major exponents of Abstract Expressionism, faces what is probably his biggest professional challenge and worst ethical dilemma: to paint a series of extremely well-paid murals for the exclusive New York restaurant the Four Seasons. The painter does not accept that Pop Art is about to trample on his legacy, just like his generation did with the cubists. Under the sharp gaze of his young assistant, and shooting words as if they were darts, Rothko paints an accurate portrait of his vision of art, of life and death, for which he did not want to wait.
