Reflejos de Macondo

Auditorio de Tenerife programmes Reflejos de Macondo, an exhibition-concert that will take place in the stage box of the Symphonic Hall. On the piano, María José Bustos will perform a programme that recalls the characters of Cien años de Soledad while 12 photographs by Oscar Perfer, who immortalised the characters in Gabriel García Márquez's novel, will be exhibited. At the end of the show there will be a colloquium between the artists and the audience.

Cien años de Soledad, by Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize winner in Literature; Written in Mexico City between 1965 and 1966, it is considered a masterpiece of Latin American and universal literature. It is the second most read work in Spanish in the world, only surpassed by Don Quijote, translated into 35 languages and with an approximate sale of 30 million copies to date.

Oscar Perfer, Colombian photographer, makes an introspection of the masterpiece through these timeless characters, with contemporary phenotypes, from an artistic vision and in line with his peculiar aesthetic of portraits framed in his pictorial lighting technique, where the viewer feels observed through their hypnotic looks, giving the possibility to dive into the Macondian world.

Perfer exalts this literary heritage in motion, through this expo-concert called Reflejos de Macondo, conceived by cultural manager Sonia Ezquerrena, offering a dreamlike proposal within this universe of magical realism in its portraits, an intimate and unconventional experience, bringing the public closer to a visual and musical immersion, where the viewer will discover as the recital happens, performed by the pianist María José de Bustos, each of the photographs with the characters that he has captured from his perspective.

Reflejos de Macondo, Expo-concert, is an unprecedented show with reduced capacity, an artistic encounter born from the fusion of words, music and images. A thoughtful staging to discover the loneliness of one hundred years, with great aesthetic, visual and sound potential.
