The Key of José Luis Balbín
The event is inspired by La Clave, a television program that debates and discusses current political, social, and cultural issues. Characterized by its language, tone, rhythm, and verbal composition, which closely resembled conversation and created an ethical space of uncertainty, José Luis Balbín employed a very direct interview style and a critical approach.
This initiative has the collaboration of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Universities and the Benicàssim City Council.
