Who is Esperansa Grasia?
Esperansa Grasia, the artistic name of Jewel Palace, is a Valencian performer who rose from short humorous clips to becoming a recognized voice in social media comedy. A young woman from Benaguasil, she first shared playful characters on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, captivating audiences with quick-witted sketches and relatable scenarios. Her online presence has led to collaborations on radio programs such as Yu, expanding her reach beyond the screen.
Now stepping onto the theatre stage, Grasia is set to headline The Ghost Light, a feature directed by Tonet Ferrer who is known for his work both as a filmmaker and a theatre director. The title holds a double meaning for theatre lovers: the light that remains on after audiences depart, and the superstition that this light helps illuminate any lingering spirits in the theatre. The Ghost Light promises to blend humor, mystery, and personal storytelling as it unfolds on stage.
The production traces the journey of a content creator who returns to live performance, weaving in memories of past encounters and the haunted atmosphere of a real playhouse. In this new format, Grasia showcases her talent in a refined register that differs from her online routines, bringing a fresh energy to the stage while staying true to her comedic roots.
The ensemble is completed by seasoned professionals Héctor González, Sara Guerrero, Raquel Heredia, Ana Vila, and Paula Yuste. Together, they bring to life the other characters who inhabit the theatre world and its mysterious corners.
The Talia Theatre hosts a production packed with suspense, music, and personal victories as each character confronts their own phantoms. The show runs from October 12 to 16, with tickets on sale through the Teatre Talia website. Prices range from €10 to €16. Early purchasers before September 30 can enjoy a 20% discount on ticket prices.
