Primera Persona
Primera Persona 2013
Autobiographic live sessions: pop music concerts, stand-up comedy, theatre and narrative
Scene + Music + Festivals
Half emotional striptease, half no-holds-barred autobiography, Primera Persona is a multidisciplinary platform for stories based on the purest self. These life stories—sometimes more camouflaged, sometimes more literal, but always literary, atypical, tragicomic and anti-epic—prove that anyone can be the hero (or antihero) of an experience worthy of a novel, film or song.
From hilarious monologue to confessional pop concert, via uncompromising reading or dramatic performance, the second edition of Primera Persona uses this premise to bring together foremost names, with points in common such as humour or non-transferable biography. All have prepared an exclusive show for a cycle that places the premium on the exclusive nature of the life and work of each. Primera Persona is a festival conceived by the journalists, writers and cultural agitators Kiko Amat and Miqui Otero.
