To apply the discount, select the show and add it to the shopping cart. Immerse yourself in the life and work of the poet who broke molds and overturned rules, in an exceptional production by Pep Tosar with dramaturgy by Evelyn Arévalo. Vientos del Pueblo is not just a tribute, but a deep and sincere rescue of the man hidden behind the myth: a passionate activist for life, far from legends and clichés. Explaining the life of Miguel Hernández is always an adventure; and it is because his profile breaks molds and challenges rules and statistics. It is a truly exceptional case both as a writer and as a person. It is also because behind the construction of his biographical narrative lies a task of rescue and clearing, of distancing from the clichés that turned him into a banner, a martyr, and a sad shepherd-poet. Returning him to his natural state, to his condition as a passionate activist for life, free of legends, is the task our theatre assumes, with the purpose of captivating the audience through the life journey of a poet who, in only twelve years of production, fully justified his craft leaving future publishers four thousand pages of blessed words. Miguel Hernández died very young, but in those 31 years of life he traced an unprecedented path in the history of contemporary literature. He managed to become a necessary poet, as defined by Antonio Buero Vallejo, in a convulsed, divided time, for him, between six years of Republic, disillusionments and hopes, and six more years of fierce war and prisons perpetrated by the Francoism. As usually happens with classics, there are infinite answers to the question Why return to Miguel Hernández? First of all, because one does not return to classics, but remains there; in that precisely consists the fact of being classics. Because he continues very much alive in the voice of artists like Morente, Víctor Jara, Paco Ibáñez, Mayte Martín or Niño de Elche, who have brought his poetry to new melodies and generations. Because his work still today sparks debates and reflects wounds that have not healed. And because, rarely, his life and work have been explained from theatre with such honesty and humanity. This is your opportunity to know the true Miguel Hernández, to hear his most intimate and passionate voice, and to fall in love with his story.
