Circo es una obra de teatro en tres actos que explora los mecanismos del poder, la manipulación política y la construcción de los líderes en la era del espectáculo.
Bajo una inmensa carpa levantada junto a un cementerio, una carismática dirigente surgida de la pobreza, se ha convertido en la gran favorita para alcanzar la presidencia del gobierno. A su lado permanece un brillante estratega político, aristócrata ambicioso y convencido de que el destino le reserva un lugar en la historia.
Mientras las encuestas crecen y las multitudes aclaman a sus nuevos ídolos, una figura enigmática observa desde las alturas. Invisible para la mayoría, dirige una partida en la que las lealtades tienen precio, los enemigos se fabrican y la verdad es solo una herramienta más.
Cuando un atentado sacude la campaña electoral, el espectáculo alcanza su clímax. Entre traiciones, conspiraciones y ambiciones enfrentadas, los protagonistas descubrirán que el poder no pertenece a quienes ocupan el centro de la pista, sino a quien controla los focos.
Una alegoría política contemporánea, irónica y perturbadora, donde el circo nunca termina y los payasos cambian de nombre, pero no de función.
Manuel Sánchez (Spain, 1967) has been passionate about classical culture and literature since childhood. An indefatigable reader and a prolific author with readers in more than thirty countries, he has published the novels Soul Moon [Alma Luna], Navigators [Navegantes], The Cocoon [La crisálida], Desire Ways [Las rutas del deseo], Ultima Thule [Última Thule], Star Buccaneers [Bucaneros de estrellas], The Sand Tree [El árbol de arena], The Snow Rose [La rosa de nieve], Sea Eyes [Ojos de mar] and The Silence of Enoch [El silencio de Enoc]; as well as the short story collection Catch-all Drawer [Cajón de sastre] and the volume of poetic reflections The Southeast Wind [El viento del sureste]. As a playwright, his theatre works Frog Pond [Charco de ranas], Virgil´s Fly [La mosca de Virgilio] and Circus [Circo] stand out.
He is currently working on a new literary project. His works are available in Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese, in paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats.
He holds a degree in Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Madrid and an MBA from IE, and is a member of international and Spanish literary associations, including ALLi, ACE, AEAE, AAT, PEN, AEMCLM, Quijote, and CEDRO. He has furthered his education with courses in creative writing and classical art at the Escuela de Escritores (Madrid), Universidad de los Andes, Wesleyan University, and Yale University.
A tireless traveler, he brings to his work a humanistic perspective, narrative sensitivity, and a constant desire to explore new horizons. Each book is a journey-through landscapes, eras, and questions that continue to resonate long after the final page.
