The exhibition is on permanent display 24 hours a day, every day, in one of Central Newbery Galería's street-facing windows.

Playwright and actor Rafael Spregelburd stars in Diego Armando Prometeo, accompanied live by musician Nicolás Varchausky. The production uses Diego Maradona as a starting point to explore something much larger: collective desire, the contradictions of society, and the popular stories that shape neighborhood life.

The story begins with a public official tasked with organizing a performance for the Naples Carnival, where the spirit of the god Momo emerges to illuminate working-class neighborhoods through the figure of this modern Prometheus. The result is an 80-minute blend of dramatic poetry, traditional payada, and an inventive crossover between folk traditions and experimental theater.

Good to know: Performances take place Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 5pm. Admission is free at Centro Cultural Borges. Up to two tickets per person are distributed one hour before each performance at the Information Desk on the first floor.
