When José Echegaray offered him a blood transfusion, Valle-Inclan said in his hospital bed, “I don’t want his blood full of drugs.” Echegaray (1832-1916) featured, awarded over a thousand pesetans for decades Nobel Prize in Literature, great mathematician, Minister of Finance and Development, where there is the versatile man. He did so much that no one remembers him anymore, despite the fact that he wrote dozens of plays that are today considered lead or too baroque. In cities like Madrid or Malaga, central streets are named after him. Jorge Bustos has devoted a wonderful chapter to himself in his book ‘Vidas cipotadas’. Now, according to El País, a lost comedy of this nature genius has been selling online for over twenty years for 1,600 euros and no one is paying attention to it.
We enjoy the phrase: without anyone taking care of them. The title of the work is ‘The Summoned Don Fernando’. We are nobody. Maximum indifference. How long does it take to write the game? Has anyone read it? How much more effort like this will be expended now? ‘The Summoned Don Fernando’ is gathering dust and no one is invited to read it. Millions of comedies or dramas will swarm in the purgatory of theater that no one has read or ever played before. Millions of words in vain, for no one. This is not unprecedented. Unprecedented is the comedy mentioned above. Who would you draw inspiration from for that character, that Don Fernando? Will the text contain many gerunds? Maybe now with this news, interest in Echegaray or this work will awaken. Perhaps there is a fraternity of echegarianos or echagaristas having fun. A secret fraternity where members can recognize each other by a passphrase (without gerund) or by wearing long beards like it. A few questions. Worthy of a grotesque from Valle Inclan.
