Hay Festival Arequipa 2023 – Theatre

Watanabe: todo el vasto fondo marino, by the dramatist and director K’intu Galiano, is poetry become theatre. The performance will introduce the audience to the most sensitive milestones in the life of the poet José Watanabe Varas (1945-2007), through a narrative that is set in his final years, but with an eye always on the past. Watanabe, born in Laredo, Trujillo, is known as one of the most outstanding and profound poets in Peruvian and Latin American literature. His work is the outcome of the cultural syncretism between the Andean world and his Japanese heritage.

With the actors Carlos Mesta, Teresa Ralli, Diana Chávez and Renato Rueda.

Post-truth creates a tension between belief and truth. How has truth become an object of power? What is the relationship between science, politics and morality when the truth is in play? Why does the truth appear fragile faced with the manipulative powers of post-truth? Catherine Bréchignac (France), a physicist by training, has been President of the French National Research Centre and the Secretary in Perpetuity of the French Academy of Sciences. Through her work, and in a scientific way, she has worked to counter the psychological and sociological biases that favour obscurantism and ideological radicalisms, as well as negative interpretations of scientific progress. In conversation with the Colombian-French philosopher, Nelson Vallejo-Gómez.
