“First-person perspective,” conference or staged conversation with Carlos Otero
Give me my glasses!
These were the poet's last words on November 30, 1935.
Today, ninety years later, Fernando Pessoa is here to talk about himself... About his inner self. The one he rarely showed.
It may even seem difficult, not to say pretentious, to speak in the first person without hiding.
Marking the poet's living presence in Portuguese culture, Pessoa in the first person is a way of saying something new or different without fear of contradiction.
In an informal conversation, Carlos Otero, or rather, Fernando Pessoa talks about himself in a frenzy, in which “...everything ends in inner silence and poetry...”, in a universe where the poet is both ‘Pessoa’ and “Nobody.”
