When he left, he resumed his activities with apparent normality but after attending a party he fell into drug addiction.
His death, which occurred on the night of April 30, 1993, was due to an accidental fall from his apartment. It was believed that it had been a murder since the Prosecutor's Office had found a recording on his answering machine in which he pleaded not to be hurt. Due to this, Álvarez's partner and several people were arrested and jailed but released shortly after for lack of evidence.

Film and theater actor, playwright, theater director and painter born in Bogotá in 1928. Santiago García studied architecture at the National University, the School of Fine Arts in Paris and at the University Institute of Venice. His acting training began in 1957 in Bogotá, with the Japanese director SekiSano; later it continued it in the University of the Prague, in the Actor's Studio of New York and, in 1963, in the University of Theater of the Nations in Vincennes (France). García was one of the founders, in 1958, of El Búho, and later, in 1966, together with artists and intellectuals from the capital, founded the House of Culture, today Teatro La Candelaria, of which he has always been director. He directed the theater group of the National University in Bogotá and the National School of Dramatic Art. He has directed innumerable theatrical productions both in the country and in Cuba, Mexico, the United States and Costa Rica.
He has received various national and international awards, among which is the Ollantay Prize in 1985, for his creative and pedagogical work. From 1983 until now, he directs the permanent theater research and training workshop, and is an executive member of the Colombian Theater Corporation. Santiago García is the author of the works: Dialogue of the search (1981), based on several works by Francisco de Quevedo, especially in called Don Pablos, where, in García's words, he maintained Quevedo's style, especially the satirical and violent spirit of all his work; The montage is inspired by the paintings of the painter El Bosco and the street folklore. He is also the author of Corre, Chasqui Carigueta (1982), based on the tragedy of the end of Ataw Wallpan, written by an anonymous author in the Quechua language in approximately 1555, where García tried his best to respect the original structure of the tragedy, but for above all its spirit of ritual testimony of a culture devastated by the conqueror; Maravilla Estar (1983), and The brawl (1984).
He wrote the texts of the works of collective creation: We the Commons (1972), The Golden City (1973), Guadalupe Years Without Account (1975) The ten days that shook the world, based on the work of the same name, commissioned by members of the Central Union of Workers of Colombia (CSTC). He has published numerous articles in the press and in national and international magazines, and also the book Theory and Practice of Theater (1983), where he records his conception of different aspects of theater. In the first stage of his theatrical work, García ventured into the theater of European absurdity and in formal aspects in works from the classical repertoire. In 1965, under the influence of Bertold Brecht, he staged his work Galileo Galilei with the theater group of the National University, of which he was director.
Thereafter, he adapted Brechtian theories and has continued to develop them with La Candelaria. García's work is linked to the La Candelaria group either as an actor, director, individual author or works of collective creation, which must be seen within the perspective of the Colombian New Theater movement, with its own searches and theatrical language and characteristics. La Candelaria's method of collective creation is distinguished from that of the Experimental Theater of Cali (TEC), directed by Enrique Buenaventura, since García, in addition to Brechtian theories, is influenced by structuralist linguists, theorists of textual analysis.
In March 2012, he was declared a World Theater Ambassador by Unesco's International Theater Institute (ITI).- Delfina Guido was born on 19 July 1937 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
