NORTH & SUR

The extraordinary encounter between two icons of World Literature: the great North American writer Edgar Allan Poe, who is recognized as one of the foremost progenitors of modern literature, and the Latin American author Alfonsina Storni, who is one of the most relevant postmodern poets of Spanish America. While this interchange never actually occurred, it is in the space of art where they share the most intimate and passionate moments of their lives. The audience will witness the intensity of these artists and share the most important moments of their careers and their relationship with art.
“…Wrapped in veils and drowning in tears…Seated in the theater, to seeA drama of fears and hopes…”Edgar Allan Poe

“…Come closer, poet: my soul is restrained…Would you like to be my poet dear friendAnd only your pain will leave with me?….”Alfonsina Storni
