Join us for this recital with Fernando Gil and Fernando Egozcue's guitar on a comic, poetic, and musical journey through the facets of the Iberian male. We will celebrate his greatness, with particular emphasis on his greatest blunders, his astonishing arrogance, or his clairvoyant absurdity. Of course, we will also celebrate his long-standing virtues or his inexplicable boldness.
We will also bear witness to his constant efforts to tenaciously contribute to his absolute degradation, as well as his arduous task of developing the sharpest nonsense, and we will even follow the trail of that moral deficiency to which he has accustomed us.
We are going to laugh with him, about him, at, before, under, beside, and against him. Hold on tight, fellas, because you're going to see all the myths of our Iberian masculinity fall with the rhythm of songs, legends, poems, stories, events, witticisms, tunes, gossip, testimonies, tall tales, entanglements, intrigues, and perhaps a biblical-sized smirk or two.
