On the occasion of the 888th anniversary of the birth of the Cordovan sage, the Fundación Tres Culturas del Mediterráneo is organising a dramatised reading of the most significant passages of the play Averroesby its author Javier Ros Pardo. This event will take place within the framework of the Cátedra al-Ándalus, and will be held on Thursday 15 May at 19.30 at the Foundation's headquarters.
The event will begin with an introductory talk on the special significance of the figure and his work, insofar as the Andalusian physician, philosopher, mathematician and astronomer is configured as a key element of European culture and a model of dialogue and coexistence between cultures.
The work Averroeswhich is scheduled to premiere next July as part of the Avignon World Theatre Festival, has been translated into Arabic, French and Russian. Its author, Javier Ros Pardo, holds a doctorate in Educational Sciences, is an anthropologist and playwright, and has studied the figure of the Cordovan thinker for years.
