Actor. Carlos Olalla
Barcelona, 1957. At the age of eighteen, he began working in the business world and after graduating from the Escuela Universitaria de Estudios Financieros de Madrid, he developed his professional career living in different cities in Spain and abroad. He was also a regional director of a foreign bank in Catalonia and one of the main national construction companies in the Catalonia and Balearic area. He also worked for several years as an independent consultant. He started writing novels to vent, so in 1992 he published his first novel called "La sabiduría del silencio". After losing his job, he was called to give a gestural response to Christian Bale, who had come to Barcelona to film the movie "El maquinista". He then enrolled in the acting training studio of Nancy Tuñón and Jordi Olivé, where he studied for a period of three years.

In a double session, the day after tomorrow, Friday 28 at 8:00 p.m., and on Sunday, March 2, at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are almost sold out.
Seeing Lola Herrera back on stage for the whole of Spain is one of those unique moments that only the Teatro Palacio Valdés and escenAvilés offer. If you add another great actress, her daughter Natalia Dicenta, and a prestigious director like Claudio Tolcachir, the importance of the stage proposal multiplies. So much so that the two scheduled performances, the day after tomorrow, Friday, February 28 at 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m., have made the tickets fly, almost sold out.
The play, a production of Pentación, with Carlos Olalla providing dramatic responses to the two actresses, was presented this morning in the theater foyer by Yolanda Alonso, Avilés’ Councilor for Culture, accompanied by the cast and director. Almost sold out, the remaining tickets are available on the websites www.teatropalaciovaldes.es and www.unientradas.es, at the Casa de Cultura box office, and from two hours before each show at the theater box office.
"Camino a La Meca" is a play written by the South African Athol Fugard, considered one of the most relevant contemporary English-language playwrights, based on a true story, that of a misunderstood South African sculptor who achieves her own freedom in the darkest times of apartheid.
Tolcachir explains that in this new production, the author Athol Fugard is inspired by a real woman, Helen Martins, who rebelled against all the institutions of her time. A being who pursues desire, the light of inspiration that does not correspond to any age or generation. Someone who prefers questions to certainties, who values her freedom and autonomy by facing her time and the world around her.
When putting it on stage, he confesses that he heard "Lola’s [Herrera] voice beating in every text." "One of the main reasons I find to join a project is to know, or intuit, that it will be an opportunity to meet and share experiences with people who will move me forever. I was very fortunate in my life to have the affection and complicity of immense artists. Sources of inspiration. I fell in love with Lola Herrera encounter after encounter. Fascinated by her charisma, moved by her lucidity, amazed by her curiosity and desire," acknowledges Tolcachir, who is also the author of the version.
"Camino a la Meca" is a perfect opportunity to once again enjoy Herrera and Dicenta together, in a production by Jesús Cimarro and Pentación Espectáculos, with set design by Alessio Meloni, costumes by Pablo Menor, lighting by Juan Gómez-Cornejo, and with María García de Oteyza as assistant director.
