It’s better if you are alone, not to avoid others doubt on your mental balance but learning to hear yourself in the silence, and discovering what your communication skill is. That is what the Sullana-native actor Nerit Olaya Guerrero (1958) is doing.   Once upon a Good day, after reading again the Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti (Paso de los Toros, Sep. 14, 1920 – Montevideo, May 17, 2009), he conceived a play based upon his novel The Truce (1960), that tells the story of a retired man who loses his wife and builds a new relati...

If the news surprised, it could must have forgotten some details of all this issue since FACTORTIERRA undisclosed it in August 2003.   But this Zijin approach seemed not to be casual but a skillful move that responded to the controversy’s developments and other details that happened around like the Conga Conflict. Then, to avoid a play with marked Chinese cards, here we have some cards that the Hong Kong fellas looked like to have in their deck.   The consultation? The Chineses expected that the fifth anniversary of the consultation in Ayabaca , Pacaipampa, and El Carmen de la Frontera spent like the tenth anniversary of Tambograndé’s – unseen. In that o...
