Ten questions for ...
VALENTIN REDIN |
“The best actor in Sanfermin is one the one who doesn’t have one eye on the camera and who just gets on with doing his own thing”

He has also written : publishing several novels and he has been a habitual contributor to the local press.

A career with a substantial background. As a director of scenes, we asked how for a general impression of the “theater” that is Sanfermin.

-And who is the best actor of this show which is called Sanfermin?
-The one who is not looking for the camera and who is doing his own thing.
-What is lacking in Sanfermin to make it into the perfect show?
-The collective feeling that here nobody is acting. There...
