Funes El Memorioso

'Funes El Memorioso' (English: Funes The Memorious) is a mix of artistic installation and theatrical work based on the famous story by Jorge Luis Borges.

It is both a puzzle and a story. With it, we want you to ask yourself about the mysteries of memory and the advantages or disadvantages of being able to perceive everything. What would happen if we were able to memorize all the details that reality offers us? If you could remember everything, would you be happy? Or would you feel doomed? Memory, is it an incontrovertible fact or does it depend on perspective? Are they words or a sensation in the muscles? We invite you to imagine a town, where a certain Ireneo Funes lives, who remembers everything or, better said, is unable to forget anything. The narrator of the story, Jorge Luis Borges, comes to this town to visit his cousin and is fascinated by that boy who can tell the time without looking at his watch. The narrator's curiosity will lead him to get to know this boy better but will also reveal the secrets of this town, so different from what it seems at first glance.
