Kalimán

Biblioteca Juan de Dios Bátiz Paredes. Delegación Josefa Vergara
Read more

There is a superhero whose powers reside in the mind, the body and in an unbreakable spirit. With his white tunic, turban and an emerald with a K on his forhead, Kalimán was, and continues to be, an icon of Mexican and Latin American pop culture. Together with his associate Solín, he has been fighting evil since the 1960s, on radio and in bestselling comics. He also conquered cinemas in the 70s. Considered to be the first Mexican superhero, he showed us that there is no weapon more powerful than the mind, and that «whoever controls the mind, controls everything». Conversation with Edgar David Aguilera y Alfredo Rodríguez Karmix, co-screenwriters of Kalimán: El despertar.

What if music and illustration came together? Kevin Johansen sings and Liniers draws, until they mingle to create a concert in which the sings are illustrated and the drawings sing. A spontaneous, unpredictable show… or, in other words, chaotic good fun.
