Next Monday, September 22 at 19.30 hours, the Club Monteverdi (calle Almagro, 36) presents a special poetic evening on “La Generación del 27”, with the reading of poems with Luis Alberto de Cuenca and Alicia Mariño, accompanied by music on piano, with the pianist Andrey Yshinaroski.
In 1627 Luis de Góngora died. Three centuries later, they met at the Ateneo de Sevilla to pay homage to the poet from Córdoba, some of the best young poets of the moment. We are talking about Jorge Guillén, Pedro Salinas, Vicente Aleixandre, Federico García Lorca, Rafael Alberti, Luis Cernuda, Gerardo Diego, Dámaso Alonso, Manuel Altolaguirre and Emilio Prados.
More than one generation should be called a group of friends, as they all had excellent relations with each other. His poetry sprang from the source of an ordinary master, Juan Ramón Jiménez, and from a chronicler as excellent as José Ortega y Gasset, who in his work La deshumanización del arte, deployed a conceptual flag that deployed with greater or lesser commitment the poets of 27.
Now that the centenary of the homage to Góngora in the Ateneo hispalense is approaching, the Club Monteverdi wishes to bring to these evenings, in 2025, a first approach to the generation of 27. Later, individual talks will be given to the various members of the group, which won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1977 from Vicente Aleixandre. Price (no member): 25 euro.
