En este encuentro con Bernardo Fernández "Bef", uno de los autores más importantes de la novela negra contemporánea en México, exploraremos cómo el misterio, la violencia, la corrupción y las contradicciones del país se transforman en historias fascinantes. Escritor, historietista y diseñador gráfico, Bef ha construido un universo narrativo donde el género negro dialoga con la realidad mexicana de manera crítica, inteligente y profundamente entretenida. Será una oportunidad para conversar sobre literatura policiaca, creación de personajes, procesos de escritura y las múltiples formas en que el noir puede ayudarnos a entender el mundo que habitamos. Si te gustan las historias de detectives, los secretos, los enigmas, las novelas que cuestionan el poder o simplemente quieres conocer de cerca a una de las voces más destacadas de la literatura mexicana actual, esta charla es para ti.

Immerse yourself in the moving scenic play "Lolita," a touching theatrical work that sensitively and deeply addresses the impact of Alzheimer's on a family. Through the story of Lolita, an 80-year-old grandmother, this production by Colectivo Luciérnagas invites you to reflect on the loss of reality, memory, and time experienced by those suffering from this disease. The play explores the challenges and care faced by families as they support an elderly adult during this stage, offering an intimate and internal perspective. Don't miss this theatrical experience at Foro El Huaje in Casa Matriz, where empathy and reflection come together in a powerful and human narrative about memory and the spirit. Free admission for all audiences.
