I AM A HUMAN
alive in this chaos
where ants are working hard to extract crumbs from leftover food, flowers are continuously emanating their fragrance as they slowly wither, and balloons are gradually deflating and looking less and less buoyant. At some point, the air is going to run out of my balloons in a pop or a slow silent whistle, and by then I hope to have lived my life. A human life where the SHARING of the HUMAN CONDITION will have helped me and others to LIVE TO THE FULLEST. I am charged with exotic stories and vast landscapes, I search for a collective within which to exist. I am eager to help make connections around the world. I make sense when I am related to the greater picture.
LOVE is the undercurrent above which everything else floats, the origin of life, the act of deepest care and allowance. Love is like a rainbow, its source is a magical pot never to be found, yet always present between sun and rain. Love and lack of love are the motors of the world. Lack of love brings isolation and destruction, love brings flowers and fruits.
I WISH to offer flowers and fruits, yet not neglect the darkness that we all share. In the necessary and inevitable suffering of life, I do not want to be a savior or messiah, but a helper and a companion. I wish to step into the ugliness, to embrace it, to then be able to step into the light together. I wish to offer another perspective of seeing things, to unlock hearts with songs or laughter and whisper words of compassion and hope.
I HOPE to share with crazy kids, moody youngs, conservative middle-ages, and wise elders the magnificent creation of art where expression, sharing, respect, and inclusion are the keywords. We are all human; we all go through things. Being a slave or a refugee is very different than being a landowner or a millionaire. But if we understood that we are all made of the same ingredients, if we saw ourselves in each other’s eyes, maybe we would not make war, maybe we would all help each other.
As a CITIZEN OF A WORLD with no borders but oceans and mountains, I hope to offer my experience of imagining and creating possibilities with driftwood and sand, with bodies and voices, with vibrant colors, and to drizzle seeds of relationships that will grow powerfully. I hope to bring delight with what I have discovered in life on stage or with a red nose on the streets.
I WANT to empower the younger generation to create an unpredictable world, to encourage people to live to the fullest through music, dance, and theater so that the lid that contains their emotions will not explode against somebody. I want to help people train their emotional intelligence, their senses´ aliveness, and their body´s openness.
I COME FROM THE MUD
from the earth kissed by the sun mixing with the ice of the north. In this undefined muddy melting world within which we swim as human beings, I wish to tap from the DEEP UNDERCURRENT OF LOVE, that complex and inexplicable caring for each other that unifies us, and to help that freshwater emerge in a glorious fountain.
