‘Operación Triunfo’ Finalist Martin Urrutia on His ‘Mariliendre’ Acting Debut, First Studio Album and Joining Los Javis’ ‘Welcoming, Brave and Inclusive’ Creative Community


Martin Urrutia stars in 'Mariliendre,' a musical series about friendship, queer identity, family ties and Madrid's vibrant nightlife.

The six-episode musical comedy-drama, directed and co-written by Javier Ferreiro, is a vibrant love letter to friendship, queer identity, body positivity and Madrid’s famous Chueca nightlife in the 2000s. Variety recently caught up with Urrutia to discuss stepping into scripted television for the first time, the unique musical challenges of “Mariliendre” and the show’s growing international buzz. There’s a sense that Los Javis are building a community and a generation of talented actors and storytellers in Spain, not unlike Almodóvar did decades ago.
