"“Hello friends,” wrote Banderas in the Spanish-language post which has been translated. “It pains me to have to give, once again, explanations that I've repeated, over and over, about my goals in my theatrical projects. The ruin of which I'm made a victim in certain media doesn't exist. I feel sorry for those who might find some pleasure in it being so.”"
"“The Teatro del Soho CaixaBank project is one where I set just one goal for myself: to do things as I believe they should be done and strive for excellence in our productions, beyond the economic deficits they may bring-and which, thank God, I can assume without any problem.”"
"“That's the pact with my passion for theater, for my city, and with myself. If I'd wanted to make money, it would have been very easy. But I've preferred to create big productions, where I've given work to hundreds of people, and I've enjoyed it like I hadn't in my entire career.”"
Antonio Banderas denied Spanish reports claiming he faced financial ruin due to losses from his Malaga theater company. He leased a historic theater in Malaga in 2017 for the Teatro del Soho CaixaBank, which functions as both a venue and a production company. He stated that he planned to run the project at a loss as part of his goal to support the local arts scene and strive for excellence in productions. He said the media claim of ruin is false and that he can handle any economic deficits. He added that he could have chosen to make money more easily but preferred large productions that employ hundreds of people.
