The show, starring actor Fernando Gil, known for his role in the series Machos Alfa, and Argentine composer and musician Fernando Egozcue on guitar, will offer an ironic look at the lights and shadows of the so-called Iberian male archetype. The performance will take place on Sunday at 8:30 PM, after the Reader's Award ceremony.
'De acero inolvidable' comes to the closing event as a replacement for the show Bécquer y Quevedo. Amor y muerte, which had to be canceled due to the actor's health issues.
In the performance, Fernando Gil deconstructs the myths of masculinity through laughter and music, exploring the contradictions, arrogance, and missteps of an archetype deeply rooted in popular imagination. Songs, legends, poems, and testimonies serve as the basis for questioning behaviors and traditional models.
Fernando Gil, a leading face in Machos Alfa, a series addressing the crisis of masculinity, connects his character Pedro Aguilar with the themes of 'De acero inolvidable'. His career spans film, television, and theater, having debuted with Juan Antonio Bardem and appeared in productions like Hospital Central and Cuéntame cómo pasó.
Fernando Egozcue, an Argentine guitarist and composer based in Madrid, contributes music that blends various languages. He has released fifteen albums and collaborated with artists such as Ara Malikian and José Mercé.
The Book Fair is organized by the Insular Library Center, part of the Culture Department of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, with the collaboration of the Canary Institute for Cultural Development and the Vice-Ministry of Social Welfare of the Government of the Canary Islands.
