Canary Islands Literature Day

The Canary Islands Literature Day pays tribute to Alonso Quesada, a key figure of modernism in Gran Canaria. This institutional event takes place at the Teatro Guiniguada and features speeches by public representatives, along with a selection of the author's texts adapted for the stage under the artistic direction of Clapso Producciones. The commemoration highlights the work of the poet, playwright, and journalist, whose writing explored the social reality of the archipelago in the early 20th century with existential depth, irony, and social critique.
