"Teatrul si imagistica sa constituie un gen privilegiat care are posibilitatea sa reprezinte nelinistea acelui labirint de ingeri, demoni si minuni, care nu este altceva decat salasul dorintelor noastre." "Din cate pot sa-mi aduc aminte, primul meu contact cu teatrul s-a petrecut la Cochabamba, Bolivia, cand trebuie sa fi avut varsta de sapte sau opt ani. Bunicii si mama mea m-au dus la Teatrul Acha, intr-o loja, si, dintr-odata, luminile s-au stins, s-a ridicat cortina si, pe scena, niste personaje in carne si oase au inceput sa traiasca o poveste. Iar cele care incarnau intamplarile acelea ce se innodau si se deznodau pe masura ce se petreceau nu erau marionete, nici desene animate, nici imagini starnite de cuvintele vreunei carti, ci fiinte omenesti. Le zaream si le auzeam fascinat, cu toate ca nu pricepeam mare lucru din ce spuneau. Deodata, unul dintre domni a ridicat glasul si i-a dat o palma unei doamne. Am izbucnit in plans, iar mama a trebuit sa ma scoata din sala."

About the author
Mario Vargas Llosa
539 books9,404 followersJorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa, more commonly known as Mario Vargas Llosa, was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the Spanish language and Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
Vargas Llosa rose to international fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros, 1963/1966), The Green House (La casa verde, 1965/1968), and the monumental Conversation in The Cathedral (Conversación en La Catedral, 1969/1975). He wrote prolifically across various literary genres, including literary criticism and journalism. His novels include comedies, murder mysteries, historical novels, and political thrillers. He won the 1967 Rómulo Gallegos Prize and the 1986 Prince of Asturias Award. Several of his works have been adopted as feature films, such as Captain Pantoja and the Special Service (1973/1978) and Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (1977/1982). Vargas Llosa's perception of Peruvian society and his experiences as a native Peruvian influenced many of his works. Increasingly, he expanded his range and tackled themes from other parts of the world. In his essays, Vargas Llosa criticized nationalism in different parts of the world.
Like many Latin American writers, Vargas Llosa was politically active. While he initially supported the Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro, Vargas Llosa later became disenchanted with its policies, particularly after the imprisonment of Cuban poet Heberto Padilla in 1971, and later identified as a liberal and held anti-left-wing ideas. He ran for the presidency of Peru in 1990 with the center-right Frente Democrático coalition, advocating for liberal reforms, but lost the election to Alberto Fujimori in a landslide.
Vargas Llosa continued his literary career while advocating for right-wing activists and candidates internationally following his exit from direct participation in Peruvian politics. He was awarded the 1994 Miguel de Cervantes Prize, the 1995 Jerusalem Prize, the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature, the 2012 Carlos Fuentes International Prize, and the 2018 Pablo Neruda Order of Artistic and Cultural Merit. In 2011, Vargas Llosa was made the Marquess of Vargas Llosa by Spanish king Juan Carlos I. In 2021, he was elected to the Académie française.

"Teatrul nu spune o poveste, asa cum fac romanele. O reprezinta, o mimeaza, o simuleaza, o intrupeaza, o traieste. [...] Teatrul este viata si fictiune, fictiune care e viata."
Odiseu si Penelopa:
"Cu Lestrygoni sau cu Ciclopi
sau cu salbaticul Poseidon nu te vei intalni,
daca nu-i porti cumva in tine,
daca sufletul tau nu ti-i va scoate-n fata."
Nebunul cu balcoanele:
"De ce sa va inaltati cladirile tocmai acolo unde, pentru a construi viitorul, trebuie stersi cu buretele trei sute de ani ai trecutului?"
Ochi frumosi, tablouri urate:
"Viata celor mai multi. A milioane, miliarde de oameni. Printre ei, tu si cu mine. Nu ne sunt si noua plamanii imbacsiti de sufocanta mediocritate pe care o respira patru cincimi din neamul omenesc?"
