On Friday, November 6, at 7:00 p.m., theatre, poetry, music and literature will come together in an event dedicated to Aragonese writer Ramón J. Sender. The staged reading of "La última batalla de Pepe Garcés" by Carlos Tundidor, performed by Teatro Experimental AZ, will be the centerpiece of an event that will also feature poetry readings, live music and the presentation of a commemorative publication.
The event will bring together different artistic disciplines to remember the life and literary legacy of one of Spain's great 20th-century writers. Poets María José Trigo and Adolfo Burriel will take part, along with musicians Joan Chic on violin, Rubén Jiménez on guitar, and singer-songwriter Diego Escusol. It will also include a contribution from Pilar Catalán related to artificial intelligence.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8, at 7:00 p.m., the play "Otelo, el moro" by William Shakespeare will be performed. Teatro del Norte presents a version of this tragedy that explores racism, foreignness and power relations in a society shaped by prejudice and patriarchal structures. Jealousy, mistrust and violence intertwine with these conflicts in a work that continues to challenge audiences four centuries after it was written.
"Otelo" tells the story of a Moorish general serving the Republic of Venice who secretly marries Desdémona, a young Venetian noblewoman. Their relationship is threatened by Iago, Othello's ensign, who, driven by resentment, begins weaving a web of deceit and manipulation that unleashes the tragedy. The play was adapted and directed by Etelvino Vázquez, a historic figure in Spain's independent theatre scene, with more than five decades of experience.
