ultraman miguel noguera
Miguel Noguera (Gran Canary Island, 1979) is a genius. We are not too sure if you need some kind of certificate or permission from the High Court in order to be titled as such, but if somebody asked us to define a genius, we wouldn’t waste time looking in crystal balls or refer to the type of genius genie typical in Walt Disney movies. Nope, we would simply answer . Noguera is the type of genius who has a cup of coffee while he watches TV and pets his cat. What is called “geniodeandarporcasa” in Spanish. A superhero and his very own nemesis all in the same body and brain.
As happens to all geniuses, most of the general population have no idea who he is. And amongst those who do know him , a large number of people don’t understand or simply hate Miguel Noguera. Don’t think that we totally understand him either. But that’s why we like him so much. Because after such a long wait, we’ve finally found someone who amazes and delights us. Because rather than opening up the doors to what is known, he shows us the unknown. The Canary Island man resident in Barcelona is a modern day Aristoteles who has channelled the world of abstract ideas into words.
Miguel Noguera has been doing his special ¨Ultrashow¨ for years. In these sessions, he gets onstage and he tells his audience ideas he has. He is not a comic and he is not an actor in role. Miguel Noguera does not have an alter-ego. He gets up on the stage with a piece of folded paper and a pencil and proceeds, with no trickery or underhandedness, to explain his ideas through words and drawings. He throws out a name for an idea and then develops on it. Live. These ideas are in no way aphorisms. Noguera’s notions are ¨brutto¨, raw and improvised. He leaps from one idea to another anarchically and he does not distinguish between good and bad ideas. They are all his ideas and, as with sons and daughters, you cannot favour one over another. He accepts that he places more importance on quantity than quality. Noguera is not about making people laugh. As we said, he is not a comedian. He is an artist who has found his own voice and uses it to give form to chaos, mental imagery madness and words. On many occasions he waits till the end of the show to announce his wildest and most surreal ideas, adding “I’m sure that happened sometime”. We’re pretty sure about that too. Every day we come across examples that prove that reality is much stranger than fiction.
And that’s that. Do yourself a favour, get your hands on Ultraviolencia or his first book, Hervir un Oso (Boiling a Bear). Look for his Ultrashow on internet and submerge yourself in the parallel universe that is Miguel Noguera.
