note: the photographer adolfo krinsk, a russion immigrant, was the template for jorge goldenberg's theatre play from 1984 'krinsky'. Krinsky who lived in san martin - argentina was photographing the goldenberg family..

here is an excerpt from the blog 'coleccions teatrales' on goldenbergs' theatre piece:

who was krinsky? it looks like that krinsky that jorge knew in his childhood, in the buenos aires
party of san martin where he lived. he was a neighborhood librarian and photographer of social 
gatherings and took pictures of the goldenberg family. now, this jorge of exile has dreamed it, 
and in those six years of elaboration he has passed through an entire order of conflicts, ethical,
affective and social utopias and in short almost all the work is a great battle against death. 
in the play, in addition to krinsky, there is another great character; is that of luba, 
(juana hidalgo) a woman who, contrary to krinsky, does not want to look at the past. he does, 
he wants to carry everything, he wants the story to pass through him, he wants the revolution to
be a fact, he wants to be loved, and fundamentally he does not accept to die. he says: 
"i can not leave like this" he wants to have a good death and summons all the ghosts of his past,
to tell his life to luba and the public, so that they can give testimony, that he must remain 
alive, that despite of his dirty and disheveled appearance, he is a valuable man. 
what krinsky evokes is an autobiographical but mythical universe. the different ghost characters
end up betraying it because the real imposes itself in a wild way on the desired past.
