Fernando González

Fernando González, a great Colombian mystic - the one a only -, is also humorist, philosopher and columnist, a man in constant practic of experimental knowledge of himself, of nature and oreligious spirituality.

Above all he was, and he is what few dare to say: A GREAT POET.

He has talked to us through the books, but we have almost never gave him the opportunity to do it looking at us from a stage. Invite him to be with us, collectively, in the magic rituality of the theater is get involved with his poetry, with his contradictory thoughts, with his emotional journey.

TO LIVE, was, for him, more than literary ambition, because "Everything that is very well written is detestable. Everything must come up in the same dress wore while it was lived. The dress and the music of his own world."

The staging of FERNANDO GONZÁLEZ, METAPHYSICAL EVENING, wants to create the wonderful illusion that he is still in his farm Otraparte, in Envigado, and we, colombian people can still talking with him. There are two men who were earth of the earth and should not ever passed away, the other one is Socrates.

Lets picture it then: funny, satirical, sensual, grumpy, metaphysical, prince of the church, farmer, judge, diplomat. A crowd that we call FERNANDO.

Some romantic of the wizard's play may say something that justifies any attempt to represent it: "enough reading to Fernando Gonzalez, lets practice it".
