Uruguayan playwright Hugo Burel has constructed a scenic testimony of world renowned Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges, using some of his most famous anecdotes, celebrated sentences, and most significant texts to speak about himself. This play is the winner of two Florencio 2008 Awards: best actor and best script by a Uruguayan author.

This performance presents the conflict between the actor, Roberto Jones, and his character, Jorge Luis Borges.  It is based on the personal experience of Jones, who met Borges in 1982 during the shooting of a documentary. With very little scenery, a theatrical game ensues, demonstrating the actual relationship between Jones and Borges, the confrontation, the dialogue, the irony, and the poetic and existential reflection.

The play portrays the loneliness and uniqueness of the actor on stage, his anxieties, obsessions, and the demands of a dramatic composition. In this sense, the piece seems to eliminate the boundaries between stage and audience, between action and public confession.

Jorge Luis Borges (August 24, 1899 – June 14, 1986) was one of the most prominent literary figures of the twentieth century. He made significant contributions to the genre of magical realism and received numerous awards for his achievements. Jorge Luis Borges was named Commendatore, a prestigious award given by the Italian President, and he was appointed to the Thinker Chair at the University of Texas, an award given to Latin Americans who excel in their fields. He also received the Edgar Allan Poe Award as well as the celebrated Cervantes Prize.
