What if Jorge Luis Borges could guide us today through the Recoleta Cemetery, whispering his memories, his grudges, his melancholy, his sharp humor, and his boundless erudition? .

This unique work turns the mythical Buenos Aires cemetery into a literary stage where Borges - already old, already a shadow - embarks on a walk that is both tribute and settling of accounts.

Accompanied by a group of tourist-spectators and by an assistant who guides him among marble and ashes, the fictional Borges visits the graves of those who marked his life: Lugones, Sarmiento, Eva Perón, Bioy Casares, Silvina and Victoria Ocampo, Hernández, Rosas, Quiroga, and his own family.

Between intimate confessions and piercing reflections, this Borges speaks of unrequited love, family pain, Argentine history, and literature as his only destiny.

Borges in Recoleta is much more than a theatrical walk. It is a dialogue between life and death, between myth and marble, between what was and what could have been.

A profound, biting, and moving literary experience that invites the reader to look with new eyes at one of Buenos Aires' most iconic places and to rediscover the most human Borges ever imagined.

We invite you to accompany Borges on his final walk, to immerse yourself in an intimate theatrical tour through the Recoleta Cemetery, where history, literature, and memory converse among tombs.

Get your copy now of Borges in Recoleta and discover a unique experience where the dead speak... and Borges too.
