La Bernalina


Cupletista that gives the company its name, was born in 2007 by Cristina Bernal, the actress and singer who embodies it, with the intention of recovering a musical and theatrical genre that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century in Spain: the insignificant genre. THE MINIMAL GENRE. Also called the frivolous genre or cuplé, it was sung by women who were almost heroines in their time. Launched, daring, intrepid who decide to seek their independence using their multiple talents. A century later, La Bernalina intends to update and rescue the memory of those women of cuplé and the countless aesthetic and ideological values of the frivolous songbook, without renouncing the rogue and fun essence of these shows.
