The book is written in Russian. The writer is fluent in language. He is one of those Spanish children who were sent to the Soviet Union to avoid the civil war in the late 1930’s of the last century.

Six-year-old Angele and his two sisters were brought up in Soviet orphanages. 

After graduation, he entered the theater institute. Valery Zolotukhin was his classmate. Goutieres taught at GITIS and performed at Romen Theater in Moscow. Then he studied at the Higher Directing Courses. Many prominent representatives of Soviet cinema and theater were his friends and colleagues. However, he returned to his ancestral homeland in the mid-1970’s. 

Goutieres brought a team of Spanish School of Theatrical Art to the festival. Artists will show the Invisible Tears play based on the stories of Chekhov and Averchenko. 

Note, the Compatriots Festival opened on March 29. Fans of theatrical art are getting acquainted with new works of Russian-language theaters from Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan and other countries. Many of them will visit Saransk for the first.
