Gabriela said what the soul does for the body, the artist does for the people . That must be why I know so sad to hear the Violeta sing that punishment is the soul, when his music as curtain falls softly on the dark stage theater. Singing is done live and painful to see this photograph of the wounded soul of my country a few years ago.
And yesterday I went to see The Clowns of Hope and still can not get out of the cloud of nostalgia engulfed me during the whole work.
For those who sit in the chair to watch the show, you will find three clowns marginal late 70's, sitting and waiting. Three artists living together in misery and insisting on the art and craft. Hallullas artists worthy as a shared, satiating minutes and great on the sign of solidarity. Artists who were born with a heart full of talent and can not deny its nature scenic or his appreciative audience. Because no matter if the cough hits you, no matter the hole, shovel and insult, no matter the smile not sore. What matters. If it is the spirit that says you are an artist, you're a pretty tony to go to soup kitchens and slits girls laugh. Tony you are a decent, not a camp assistants, not a beggar. That lives with laughter, but this will be limited, as when your feet hurt from walking and hand dig and keep digging, but still you keep laughing, or when the chest gets you the pain of seeing your mother is consumed in oblivion and you manage to replace that smile, puffing his chest and continue to build from your wealth, they are only your talent.
That hurt was my Chile, beaten in the poverty of the artist proud of his art and indignant of their misery. That sentence was the Chilean soul when wove this work, ending the 70, when I was born in the midst of this poverty of mud, parishes and urban neighborhoods, and saw him go to a Santa Claus, a clown and a number that made us laugh the innocence of childhood.
What the artist does for the town was dying. Were killing him. The soul of Chile had a penalty. A great pity.
The text of this book is universal, reborn 30 years later and keeping the flavor of the beans of the season. Poetry texts, performances, lectures and magic to move your emotions. A tribute to the survival of a country in pain, like I was a pussy girl and did not understand the pressure my country miserable living in those days.
