The upcoming recital will blend poetry and philosophy, presenting raw words that echo Joan Fuster’s poems and writings. This performance is scheduled for 19:30 on a stage that remains free to the public, with entry limited only by the hall’s capacity, and it sits within a broader commemoration throughout 2022 that honors Fuster under the Cent de Fuster banner in the Valencian Community.
The stage will feature performances by Enric Majo, Rosana Pastor, and Manuel Molins, with the final text selections and dramatic structure depending on the chosen readings. Music will accompany the evening, provided live by Arcadi Valiente on piano. Valiente’s repertoire highlights Fuster’s figure and helps illuminate the wider context surrounding his work.
Joan Fuster’s presence reaches the UA through two curated exhibits that illuminate his role as a towering intellectual, moral guide, and spiritual beacon in our literature. His contributions span critical essays, poetic expression, and political thought, marking him as a central figure in our collective linguistic and cultural landscape.
A versatile portrait of Fuster
A multi-faceted Fuster unfolds on stage. His voice ranges from sharp aphorisms to evocative prose and a selection of poems, underscoring that Fuster was not only a keen essayist but also a remarkable poet whose words resonate across genres.
The regional representative of the IVC in Alicante, Alice Garijo, emphasized the value of honoring our leading cultural ambassadors. She noted that Valencian culture, and the culture of all regions, grows from many contributions. The emphasis of this initiative lies in the diverse talents people bring from different disciplines, sensitivities, and viewpoints. Fuster stands among those essential references, and the recital serves as a tribute to his enduring legacy. [Attribution: Valencian Government and cultural institutions in the Valencian Community]
