Inúmeros textos da dramaturgia de Jon Fosse já foram encenados no Brasil, mas até hoje nenhum deles tinha sido publicado em livro. Traduzida da variante norueguesa nynorsk por Leonardo Pinto Silva, a coletanea Vai vir alguem e outras peças chega ao publico com apresentaço e organizaço da professora e pesquisadora Claudia Soares Cruz. Composta de quatro obras Vai vir alguem, O nome, Eu sou o vento e Cada um , a seleta cobre o arco completo da produço de Fosse e mostra os principais aspectos que fizeram dele um dos dramaturgos mais encenados do mundo e lhe renderam o premio Nobel de literatura em 2023.Vai vir alguem foi a primeira incurso do noruegues no drama, e logo conquistou os palcos em todo o mundo com sua representaço vivaz da possessividade e paranoia. Escrita em 1992, leva a cena um casal que acaba de comprar uma casa e esta feliz em morar ali isolado. Pouco a pouco a alegria da conquista e substituida por um medo palpavel: alguem vira para perturba-los. As repetiçes obsessivas, as pausas, o silencio e os desencontros desses personagens inominados tambem aparecem em O nome, de 1995. Nela, Fosse faz lembrar o teatro do absurdo de Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet ou Harold Pinter e parodia a volta do filho prodigo quando uma garota prestes a dar a luz retorna a casa de sua familia com o pai de seu bebe. A dificuldade das relaçes entre pais, filhos, irmos e colegas do passado vem a tona, ainda que quase no haja conversa. Um humor fino subjaz a temas corriqueiros como o ciume e a falta de dinheiro.Ja Eu sou o vento, de 2007, talvez seja o melhor exemplo do que a academia sueca mencionou ao laurear o autor por suas "peças [...] inovadoras que do voz ao indizivel". Comovente, ela coloca em cena dois homens, Um e Outro, que esto num barco a deriva enquanto travam uma batalha contra a propria condiço humana. O ritmo hipnotico capta nossa atenço e nossos ouvidos, pois mesmo que os dialogos sejam repletos de no ditos, eles vo ecoando os sentimentos mais profundos. Por ultimo, Cada um, de 2024, o texto mais recente, dramatiza personagens espelhados dois jovens, dois velhos e duas velhas que embora pareçam ser intimos, esto completamente apartados e solitarios.Neste compilado de peças, somos espectadores de uma aço que da forma ao vazio e a unica certeza interpretativa e a de que Jon Fosse e um dos mais importantes escritores de nosso tempo.

Más que una biografía del famoso boxeador, es un reflejo de la España franquista de finales de los 70, esa que ya aspiraba a ser europea. "No existe una biografía de Urtain, así que tuve que hacer mucho trabajo de documentacion: hemeroteca, videos y recuerdos, muchas veces contradictorios, de quienes le conocieron. La historia que se conoce es la del hombre inocente, fortachon y sano, que es engañado por gente codiciosa que fabrica un mito para luego engañarle, robarle y abandonarle. Pero nosotros hemos intentado hacer una historia que este mas alla de la del juguete roto. Esta funcion habla de un hombre que fue dueño de sus actos y que fue consciente de su camino. Algo que convierte su historia en mucho mas tragica".
