The First Character in Nicaraguan Literature

The First Character in Nicaraguan Literature

Nicaraguan Masterpiece (Gegense) Goes to other Countries

By Rolando Ernesto Tellez

The Nicaraguan first funny play or Gegense, declared cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO, is now available in American English. The Gegense comedy-ballet was researched, translated, and adapted for easy reading. This article is intended to promote this Nicaraguan street theater, since this play may be as important as the Works of Romeo and Juliet or Don Quixote de la Mancha.

Our Work originated in the context of colonial times in the mixing of both racesSpanish and Indian. It shows the prank, ingenuity, and humor of the Gegense when talking with Spanish authorities. This amusing comedy script had not come out of Nicaragua, and most Nicaraguans have not read it. The name of the play and the main character is The Gegense: First Character in Nicaraguan Literature.

Anybody that reads English will enjoy this masterpiece in Nicaraguan literature. Also, the script contained in this booklet could be used at schools where English is taught. Spanish-speaking teachers and students of English will have fun and learn about this important piece of early Hispanic-American literature.

As a specialist in the English language and three decades of experience in international communication, I have decided to share this hilarious play with people that do not speak Spanish. The first character in Nicaraguan literature does not make use of weapons or civil disobedience to achieve his goals. The Gegense learned the proper dominant language without forgetting his roots. To some extent, this translation into English preserves the flavor of the original versions.

The Gegense started as an oral tradition several centuries ago, and it will be enjoyed by many new generations. Romeo and Juliet and Don Quixote have been read or seen around the world. The Gegense will eventually be famous because of his universal message in negotiating for equality before those who hold power. This booklet is a great present to people who appreciate art and cultures of other lands.

Finally, laugh is the best exercise for the heart, and this invaluable work will certainly make you laugh.
