BALADAS
Something is happening ...
A strange, bizarre, peculiar thing.
What do we have to celebrate?
A hole was opened for the first and last time.
Beings fly around to the sound of dancing music.
Within the gates of the hot and humid little hell,
just light, sound, decay,
leftover bodies ...
It's all here, it's all there, it's everywhere.
We are the rest of a dance.
Baladas is, at this moment, in the heat of power and uncertainty, the party we want, the theater we want, the art we produce not with the little we have, but with a lot of will, sweat, partnership, affection, consensus, dissension, head banging, tears and laughter, distances and hugs.
