A Magical Night at the Lola Membrives Theater
The Lola Membrives Theater shone brightly on the night of August 12, 2026, hosting the avant premiere of Moria, the highly anticipated Netflix production inspired by the life of the unstoppable Argentine diva Moria Casán. The series, set for its worldwide release on August 14, 2026, brought together the cream of the Argentine show business on a red carpet full of style and emotion.
Who is Moria Casán? A Cultural Icon
For those unfamiliar with Argentine culture, Moria Casán—often referred to as 'La One'—is a legendary vedette, actress, and television hostess whose career spans nearly 60 years. She is a trailblazer in Argentine theater and a beloved, outspoken figure on daytime television. This biographical series aims to capture her extraordinary journey through the golden ages of Argentine cinema, theater, and television.
Three Actresses, One Diva
The main highlight of the evening was seeing the three actresses who bring 'La One' to life at different stages together: Sofía Gala, Griselda Siciliani, and Cecilia Roth. Gala, who is Casán's real-life daughter, took on the challenge of playing her mother in her early years, wearing a short black lace dress. Siciliani, who portrays the diva in the iconic 1990s and 2000s, shone in a white tailored suit. Roth, responsible for composing Moria in her recent years, dazzled in a long, sequined black design.
A Stellar Cast for an Extraordinary Life
Directed and written by Javier Van de Couter and produced by About Entertainment, the series features a top-tier cast. Marco Antonio Caponi plays Mario Castiglione, one of the diva's great loves, while Luis Machín steps into the shoes of Carlos A. Petit, the man who discovered her. Rafael Ferro plays Carlos Sexton, and Hernán Jiménez embodies Jorge Porcel, another titanic figure of Argentine comedy and Casán's lifelong stage partner. Furthermore, Leticia Brédice takes on the monumental task of portraying Susana Giménez, another colossal Argentine TV diva and Casán's historic friend and rival, in the 90s.
Showbiz Figures Who Wouldn't Miss the Event
The turnout was a true gathering of affection. Casán's colleagues from her morning show on the Argentine network El Trece, such as María Fernanda Callejón, Nazarena Di Serio, Federico Seeber, and Dr. Guillermo Capuya, showed their love by attending. Her partner, Fernando Pato Galmarini, and lifelong friends were also present.
