allusive to Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz and referred to in the Documentation Center, as well as those that are going to be outlined in theRED AND WHITE NOTEBOOKS.
César Brie, Argentine, theater director and author of the text of this work: "Otra vez Marcelo", informs that with it a trilogy dedicated to "the political" is closed, whose first two units were: "La Ilíada" and "En a yellow sun"
In Bolivia Marcelo is named but his writings are not known,
his thought is not studied and little is known of his personal history. Rescuing him from oblivion is, for us, fulfilling what Roberto Juarroz, the great Argentine poet, summed up in one sentence: "Thinking of a man is equivalent to saving him.
María Soledad Quiroga, a Bolivian poet and narrator, explains that this collection of poems alludes to the "disappearance" of her mother (Cristina Trigo) and the early disappearance of her father (Marcelo Quiroga):
The parents, the closest and inevitably distant. Deeply rooted in that center we can only start walking and walk away. (...)

José Antonio Quiroga, Bolivian, trained in philosophy and editor, suggests that the quote inscribed on this poster designed by Plural editors expresses a recurring political tension between democracy and monologue from which Bolivia is not immune:
