MUSIC, MUSIC AND + MUSIC
The musicians,
the actors and the theatrical space.
Braking, Fragmentation,
Superposition, Renewal and Unity.
THE PASSION
FOR AESTHECTICS
THE CONTEMPORARY
THE ACCURACY
AND THE RAVINGS
THE MEASURE
STRICTNESS AND THE PERSONAL ABSURD
Traces of characters
in the perversion of individuality, reunion of different elements in their
synthesis. The minimum of the maximum or the minimum and the maximum, out
of context and out of time.
The way laid
out, the continous construction of a recognizable imaginary, with its own
sounds and iconography.

between RICARDO AND ELENA
One between two
and three between three = one
Only three at
the meals, in full colour, cinemascope and stereo. All the rest in black
and white, mono and flat image.
Every day, everay
boat with its engine, when arriving with its own sound.
The obsessive
and persisten bells ringing, too.
Ricardo in the
surgery, Elena in the kitchen, and Santos with his piano.
One alone, One
with the One, One without the Two, One from the Three.
From 1940 to
2000, in colour and black and white, between grey and brown and orange
red and fulminating white and blue, blue from the harbour.
Hyperrealism,
whirl, frenzy, calm, balance, the bell on the top.
Elena ringing
bells, her giant legs full of insects floating in the theatrical space,
the pianist with the world falling over him, restless playing, freeing
his ghosts.
The music, his
music, “the crux of the matter”, the conducting thread, support and exorcism,
wich will re-unite in an incestuous trip back the pianist with all the
elements, put togheter for their configuration and appearance in 2000;
border line the programmed tops and the broken horizon of the most beautiful
isms of the deceased century.
Crowling with
his music, his music, written with a pencil, for the usual musicians and
instruments, from the poetry of the restless fight and headed forward,
always forward.
