El artista visual mexicano Carlos Amorales realizará el estreno estadounidense de su segunda película “El hombre que hizo todas las cosas prohibidas” (The Man Who Did All Things Forbidden) en el Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, el 21 de octubre a las 5:30 de la tarde.
La obra se concibió hace seis años cuando Amorales leyó por primera vez Estrella Distante, novela del difunto autor chileno Roberto Bolaño. “Fue muy provocador”, señaló Amorales, “ponía al intelectual, al poeta, al artista sudamericano, desde una perspectiva fascista”.
Mexican visual artist Carlos Amorales will have the American premier of his second film, “The Man Who Did All Things Forbidden” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m.
