TEATRO : Pedro and the Captain de Mario Benedetti
PEDRO AND THE CAPTAIN
by Mario Benedetti
( dramatic reading)
October 15th (English translation by Adrianne Aron)
ART INTERNATIONALE GALLERY – 963 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, 8 pm.
I don’t favor a literature –and even less, a theatre—that is defeatist or weepy, aimed at inspiring pity or sympathy. We have to reclaim objectivity, as a way of reclaiming truth. And we have to reclaim the truth as one of the prerequisites for deserving victory.
Mario Benedetti
