''Luces de Bohemia: Esperpento'' is a 1924 play by Ramón del Valle-Inclán that introduces the literary style of esperpento, characterized by exaggerated characters and grotesque situations. The story follows Max Estrella, a blind poet, as he navigates the absurdities of life in impoverished Madrid alongside his wife, Madame Collet, and their daughter, Claudinita. Through a series of dialogues filled with despair and humor, Valle-Inclán explores themes of poverty, existentialism, and the struggles of the artistic community, marking a significant shift in 20th-century Spanish drama.
