Why the Theater?

View theater is like dreaming, who gets a story in a passive (physically speaking) and mental status changes seen otherwise.

I have wondered many times at the exact moment that a work will begin, when I am one of those spectators waiting for "third call" Why I like the theater? What I sitting here? be because at that moment I can see from the most sublime to the most absurd, the most ridiculous, go see some people pretend that things happen, pretend that crosses situations and, above all, I hope to be credible, which are presented in a creative and aesthetic. Then I stop and think "maybe we are passionate about the theater who actually are passionate about life," and perhaps the deepest passion, of whom we strive abused and confused in this art, is to create life, and not cause single effect.

I asked players (and myself) why they like to act and the response is often similar: to live other lives, be more, to break its own possibilities, of course there are more responses (including many that refer only to the ego, but that is another large topic that is not here).

The actor generally enjoys "acting" it is clear that not only do I talk about on stage, which is bloody true actor does, acts, produces and has the wonderful ability to forget about yourself .. . while in the costume of the character forgets his body and his hobbies, his vices, in the character's mind (yours) is not afraid to kill or be infinitely cruel, unconscious, stupid or silly. The Actor (capitalized), you will love the character to find their most secret areas, its dark terrain. An actor wants to explode and implode and die ... and then living the experience of being reborn with a fresh wind back into the throat and, in that depletion renovardor will see more, feel more, hear more and know more of himself.

There is the bad actor, there could not be delivered, which must overcome fear, you have to believe and thrown from the heights to fly having faith that does have wings. Only if you believe only in themselves and their vulnerability or their ego, you see the stark image and that does not reflect any mirror wings.

And yet the question remains unanswered: why the theater?

A picture decorates a room forever and invites us to a world apart, a creation that comes out of a generous mind and plazma dimensional and static.

A sculpture creates a different atmosphere in space and its forms and not only delight the eye, also to touch, sensuality.

A good photograph is the infallible result of the careful observer, which has a particular look superb and the ability to perceive the rhythm of life and only then, press the button at the right time to align with what they catch.

The dance, I always refer to one of the most primitive and basic of man's expression through the body, let flow the vibrations of musical stimuli and be one with the external, internal transit and again, dance is a dialogue between inside and outside through the body and its expression, its movement, its rhythm.

Through the literature there are those who we strive to vomit up the slightest trait of life that beats with the heart, empty the tank through the ink, so you can refill, desperate look of someone who wants to be understood, of whom drawing with words a world that others can not imagine.

The film ... I can think of film as a sequence of paintings that speak, the filmmaker creates, manufactures and portrays, again and again, until his life's masterpiece is complete and ready to bomb, also if you will, again and again (much Unlike the theater who also does a bombing, but never identical).

The music does not define it, only appreciate it, because who does not, singing has been a little lighter, a little free, there is no better company than she, with her silences or his words.

The theater ... for me is a perfect combination of the above and obviously I appreciate (almost always), because he beat and really live, and I question it because it generates disappointment, at least to me is generated, when see the different results of this fine and respectable activity. Yes, discrimination, particularly the theater of buttocks and breasts, the easier teatrto not cure that does not hit, that he forgets, that does not collect more than money. And right now, after a long pause in my writing, I think that just as there consciences of all, there are also productions of all kinds, which is not bad, but often troubling because the theater is the most consumed produced by that level and that level of conciecia conciecia money fills the coffers of tits and ass ... ie: they are many. It is well that I'm not finding any black thread in any way.

Why the drama?, If we also prostitute, if not go after the real smile, but only the easy and superficial (as if life itself was not already filled all without need of nothing more) to What if we do not want to exploit as actors exploit other worlds, do not know, perhaps those who are manufacturers of this type of theater I say yes, explode, if they are reborn, we do grow and they wake up to the throat "full of wind new "creativity (and I use that last word referring to its mystical sense).

I am sometimes accused of being conservative or square when I want to touch this issue and it probably is, but rather what I feel is that I was born with an obsession to find ways and causing deep things and / or interesting, from my point of view Obviously, we all know it's not the same vibration, which all belong to the same world and the whole theater is for all people (this can end the controversy opened my own paragraphs), but also always good to debate , questioning, not to be done and, if it be done, is done by something and hopefully, for the sake of our species, that thing is not only money.

-I keep wondering why the theater? why it is so full of magic that interaction "pretend" (and not) between people in a pre-designed, why and how the theater know and we choose?, why, finally, the man has had so many that look for years, why the trend, it occurs to me, wanting to be reflected (is simple narcissism?) born this agreement when they are entertained and the entertainers, what really is there in that search, and why every time it seems that search is less, is only postmodern trend?, why is so entertaining tendency to hang with applause and not continue to see further, we forget why we are messengers and that is laden with responsibility.

I believe that theater should return again some features of ritual that has lost, I believe in shooting down once and for all the element "curtain", the theater is life and life is the theater and should not have to keep separate a heavy fabric and red, I believe strongly in the impact it can cause this discipline and I think that is underestimated, I think he deserves a special time for idearlo, do it, mold it, delight, con-form and then displayed, I think the Theatre production runs counter to the "fast food production systems", "wear and pull" and "time is money" ... I think the theater is currently (as at other stages of its history) has many enemies, and the first is the ego of the groups that do, the second, unfortunately, are the economic needs of the same and little social importance and currently policy in most Latin American countries, at least. The list is long and I have all their answers at all.

And maybe all that and more, the answer is still endless ...
