Summary "Luces de Bohemia: Esperpento" by Ramón del Valle-Inclán is a dramatic work written in the early 20th century. The play follows the unfortunate life of Max Estrella, a blind poet, as he navigates through the absurdities of society in Madrid while grappling with poverty, existential crises, and the struggles of the artistic community. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Max Estrella, his wife Madame Collet, and their daughter Claudinita, who live in hardship illuminated by Max's artistic spirit. The opening scene establishes their dialogue filled with despair and humor, as they discuss their financial troubles and the despair of their daily lives. Max expresses his desire for a better life despite his blindness, while his wife tries to remain hopeful, suggesting that new opportunities might arise. The arrival of Don Latino, a friend of Max, sets the stage for discussions about their challenges and the absurd world around them, marking the beginning of a tapestry of characters and dialogues reflective of Valle-Inclán's exploration of existentialism and the futility of artistic aspirations.
