“Christ and King”: the beginning of the relationship between the tamer and the actress at the premiere of the series

Date:

Belén Cuesta and Jaime Lorente give life to the marriage of this Atresplayer Premium fiction

The couple formed by the totanera actress Bárbara Rey and the circus performer Ángel Cristo was one of the most popular and popular in the last decades of the 20th century in Spain. Their marriage was full of ups and downs with many ups and downs, between addictions, drugs, lovers and abuse. This is what the series “Christ and King” wants to tell, the first chapter of which premiered on Sunday evening, presenting the characters and the beginning of their relationship.

The fiction, created by Daniel Écija, can be seen on the Atresplayer Premium platform. Jaime Lorente and Belén Cuesta take on the role of the protagonists of this popular couple, accompanied by other well-known actors who bring to life all the characters involved in this story of circuses and stages, such as Adriana Torrebejano in the role of Chelo García Cortés or Cristóbal Suárez as King Juan Carlos.

Although the series is designed to tell the nine years of troubled relationship between the two, the birth of their children, the money, the fame and the luxury they lived with, but also all the shadows that hid behind the public stage of the time. , the first chapter focuses on the lights of the beginning. The series begins with the figure of Ángel Cristo, played by Jaime Lorente who leaves no doubt: he is a trainer who is not afraid to risk his life in the circus.

But it all begins ten years ago, in 1979, when the performer has lost a love interest and his circus plunges into disaster due to poor management. However, he does not give up and tries to save him by all means. For this he needs the help of Bárbara Rey, a young woman who is on the cusp of success, with the most dazzling “shows” and movies. Belén Cuesta personifies the ‘vedette’ as the antithesis of Christ, in a contrast between the beast of the circus and the beauty of the show.

In the chapter, the characters of Chelo García-Cortés, José María Íñigo and “His Majesty”, the King Emeritus, appear from the beginning as key pieces in the entire history of the couple. However, this first chapter remains in the first meeting in Cristo y Rey, with which the tamer wants to save his circus by having the actress give him a gala on TVE with a powerful sponsor. In the first meeting there is no chemistry or attraction between the two, although everything seems to indicate that in the second chapter the magic of the circus will throw them off their feet.
