Olga Orozco was born in Toay, Province of La Pampa, Argentina, in 1920. She graduated as a teacher at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires. She was part of the so-called '40s generation, of surrealist influence (although Olga never wanted to be included in 'any cage' to define her), and published her first poems in Canto magazine. Around that same time she commented on classical Spanish and Argentine theater on Radio Municipal; she was a theater actress and worked on Radio Splendid. In the sixties she was editor of Claudia magazine and organized the Clarín newspaper's horoscope between 1968 and 1974, answering sentimental queries and astrological calculations.
She also worked as a translator from French and Italian: Pirandello's Vestir al desnudo, Ionesco's Las sillas and La lección; Anouilh's Becket o el honor de Dios to give lectures in Switzerland, Italy and France.
Her poems attracted poets of the new generations. She read superbly and her recitals turned out to be performances that aroused the audience's enthusiasm. An irresistible force emanated from Olga Orozco.
In Olga's life and work there is a presence of the magical, of the symbolic:
"... in everything I do there is an enormous faith, an enormous faith in the transcendent future, an enormous faith in the other side of death, this for me is the lengthening of life. Death is not a catastrophe, so that even when we talk about death I see it as a bridge to get to another place, as a proof...".
Considered one of the most important Argentine and Latin American poets, she was awarded several prizes, one of the most relevant of which is the Juan Rulfo Prize for Latin American and Caribbean Literature, which she won in 1998.
She died in Buenos Aires in 1991.

Graciela Dufau was born in 1942 in Avellaneda, Province of Buenos Aires. Argentine actress, she was nurtured in the classrooms of Agustín Alezzo, Carlos Gandolfo and Augusto Fernandes. She made her film debut in the 1960s and appeared in more than 30 films, including Alejadro Doria's "La isla" and María Luisa Bemberg's "Momentos". She took part in 20 television series, such as "Atreverse", "Nosotros y los miedos" and "Situación límite". She went through periods of great theatrical popularity, such as with the play "Brujas" and starred in contemporary and classical plays, such as "Las brujas de Salem" and "Un tranvía llamado Deseo".
A muse of Gabriel García Márquez, the Colombian wrote for her Diatriba de amor para un hombre sentado, when they met at the 1986 Havana International Film Festival.
After 60 years of career, she borrows a phrase from Chekhov and defines herself: "When I think of my vocation, I am not afraid of life". She was recognized as Best Actress at the Montreal, Chicago, Havana and Huelva Festivals; she received the Konex Award - Merit Diploma for her career, as well as the Cóndor de Plata and ACE awards, among others.
