In his most recent book, Goth, the legendary founding member of The Cure, Lol Tolhurst (United Kingdom) returns to his origins: the music scene of the late 70s and early 80s, years when new bands were arriving: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Joy Division and, of course, The Cure. This work records the channelling of a force that goes beyond music: a community, a feeling of belonging, and something that meant the shadows and darkness –and those basslines– became a light that drew people together.
Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available

With the support of Acción Cultural Española, AC/E
The story that all Mexico believed: the kidnapping of a child and the later media campaign of a mother seeking justice, which involved the highest spheres of power in the country. This was the Wallace case, when the victim became the perpetrator. In Fabricación, the journalist and writer Ricardo Raphael (Mexico) tells how a manufactured grief became a spectacle, and a manipulation of the reality, justice and the media. A true story that could have been a thriller and a systematic reminder of the impunity that haunts us.
Diego Luna and Diego del Río in conversation with Javier Lafuente

After her autobiografic trilogy, Levy draws an intimate, personal and introspective text. In conversation with Brenda Navarro.

Guillermo Arriaga in conversation with Sonia Corona
The man of many voices
–
Teatro de la Ciudad
In both the screenplays and novels ofGuillermo Arriaga there appear many different voices. From 21 Grams, to El salvaje and Babel, his fiction is created through intertwined stories, all facets of the human identity. This can be seen once again in El Hombre, his most recent novel: six characters, speaking from different times, all related to Henry Lloyd. Human brutality, that other very Arriaga ingredient, is also present in its pages.
