The COVID- crisis seems to have trapped the creative sector in a labyrinth with a difficult solution. Nobody wants to accept it but we have de facto an artistic season already lost and the next one seriously compromised . There will be other sectors that can recover better or worse but the performing industries today face the cancellation of the remaining half of the - season; summer is non-operational by definition; and we must add a start for next autumn that is very difficult to predict given that the money is blocked and the financing wisely paralyzed in the middle of the projects. All this for the sake of the peculiarity of the cultural “year” which does not coincide with the fiscal year but with the school year: your January is our September.
To the extent that everyone can feel the general concern about the final exams of any budding university student they can equally understand ours. For me personally all this has caught me starting to work on a project that is a beneficiary of Creation CXB Directory Aid from the Madrid City Council which it must be said was not paid at the time of its granting so now we find ourselves in a position to carry out a series of projects with financing that has not been made effective. In short: we do not have certain dates we cannot move we have not received any money but we have to religiously comply with the production of work. Pathetic? Clear. We are facing a pandemic. In the face of an unprecedented crisis. Faced with the Black Death of the global world. Remembering our beloved Bergman we are facing our decisive chess game : if you waste time complaining they will eat the Queen.
As far as I am concerned it is still significant that the project that I am trying to keep afloat “THE HAND” is a piece of sound theater that reflects on what is the hand that oppresses us as social individuals and how it is done. does. Through a series of moral digressions personified in different highly symbolic objects such as mirrors clocks doors I asked myself throughout its first gestation process if the pressure of the dominant morality the social the political economic are or are not greater than the individual pressure that each human being exerts on himself. My conclusion today is emphatic: the only hand that can oppress us is our own hand . Everything else may be a difficulty but if I manage to mold myself like a chameleon as the chameleon nature itself molds itself any problem will be temporary.
