Oviedo offers on Saturday October 5 a new edition of the White Night.
Here is a sample of some activities.
Activities Literature
· SHORT STORIES LIVE
Cervantes Bookstore. Doctor Casal Street 9
21:00 to 00:30 (eight 25-minute passes, one every half hour)
40 people per pass
Improvised theatre stands out for its ability to surprise both actors and audiences. Performers train their ingenuity and creativity to construct stories spontaneously. Each performance is unique and unrepeatable as each scene is created and fades away at the same instant, creating an immersive and exciting experience for the audience.
· INTERVIEWS WITH DEAD WRITERS
Matadero Uno Bookstore. Plaza del Riego 1.
21:30 to 23:30 (Three 20-minute passes at 21:30, 22:15 and 23:00)
Without resorting to spiritualism, the Matadero Uno Bookstore is hosting nine literary legends on the White Night. They will answer questions they were asked in the form of a group interview. First, it will be the turn of the group made up of Julio Cortázar, Susan Sontag and Vladimir Nabokov. Then, it will be Jorge Luis Borges, Carmen Martín Gaite and William Faulkner. Finally, it will be Truman Capote, Marguerite Duras and Javier Tomeo. Pure literary history in real time.
· STORIES TO READ WITH THE LIGHTS OFF
Kafka & Co Bookstore. Ildefonso Sanchez del Rio St. 14
21:30 to 23:15 (2 45-minute passes at 21:30 and 22:30)
While Alfred Hitchcock once presented a selection of stories to read with the light on, here we will approach terror in the dark. As a tribute to those scary stories from oral tradition, this activity consists of a dramatized reading of an adaptation of horror stories by classic authors (Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft) by actor and announcer Pablo Valdés.
