Todo Estará Bien

(Un Teatro, 12 December 2015)

Some artists are content to pose questions without attempting answers. This is indeed the purpose of art: to nudge each viewer to seek his own answer. When attempting an answer himself, however, the artist sharpens his question.

Individuals sing to music, dance to crowds, gasp to breaths, talk over chatter, critique critics, balance on each other's shoulders to momentarily stand taller than others, not to stand momentously alone. Delacroix's La Liberté inspires by improvising on the mood of the fallen, rising, and bent, instead of seducing by a tune of her own.

By design, people fall into each other, lean, sometimes tumble. Dance is both the essence of and a metaphor for this process.
