- Interview. "I like the humor that is' look what I say ', not the one that is' look what I dare to say"
Marcos Mundstock, one of the founders of the Argentine theater ensemble Les Luthiers, has died in Buenos Aires at the age of 77, a year after leaving the stage due to health problems.
Mundstock, along with Jorge Maronna, was the last of the original Luthiers who had remained in the lineup since 1967. The group, as the actor and singer explained in a recent interview in EL MUNDO, came from the world of university choirs that became popular in Argentina during the years of the Government of General Juan Carlos Onganía. Mudstock, a student who came from Santa Fe to Buenos Aires, the son of opera-loving Jewish emigrants from Galitza, came from that culture, half a lover of music, half based on student fraternity.
According to Mundstock, Les Luthiers, many of them Jews, heirs to the tradition of absurd humor, were middle-class boys, "boys in suits and ties", almost conservative for the time, but they fell into the counterculture environment of the Institute di Tella. That was his first stage in the 60s, before developing a type and shows based on humor and classical music.
