gospel in krakow

2 years ago the city of krakow recieved a bunch of extravagant set designers who had trouble warming their brain against the -20 degrees that poland gave us for a present. We had to start somewhere in order to begin our creative moments, so we gave our first statement , our first attempt, we prayed to god not to have our asses frozen!!

So the swiss alps after christmas are green, GREEN, I wonder , where did the snow go?? after being a week in swiss territory and trying to "GET NATURAL" as the national slogan says i'm having a bit of difficulties adapting, still adapting. It seems my life is in a strange railway when it seems the train is gonna stop in a city , but it stops just for a li^ttle while. This yeas has been like that:
LONDON-GUADALAJARA-MICHUACAN-OAXACA- MEXICO CITY-VERACRUZ-GUADALAJARA-NY CITY-GUADALAJARA- MEXICOCITY- NY CITY- ZURICH- TORINO-MILAN-ZURICH-MEXICO CITY -GUADALAJARA - MEXICO CITY- VERACRUZ-MEXICO CITY- ZURICH-MOLLIS .......thank god the year has come to an end. New jobs are starting next year, new experiences and illutions, as i walk along side my path of green grass. i walk my life alongside the capitalism there is , by my side, where the tempations are, where every pig can go, enter , get fat, eating, thinking, dreaming and buying money. laughing at the world around them, telling you that the easiest way to live is to enter this nice farm , this FATA MORGANA. And sometimnes I question myself about my work, abiut the future. Of course is tempting sitting in an office from 9 to 5 having your life assured. and shutting down creativity and dreams for they are the one thing keeping us with questions , making us think and act. But at the end, as the little nice piggies smile at me and tell me without speaking how they feel. well i just know at the end they are gonna die. Become bacon for the new generation. Thats when i think that when youre old and you loose your job , and don't know anything else to do but count and become angry about everithing, well thats when you are fucked.. I didnt want to make a life statement here, but I just want to wish everybody a great new year and really, really attend your life ambitions, attend what you like the most in life, or what you really want to do in life. we are animals, we are pigs, but is better to run in the wild as being locked in a farm. Best wishes to everyone.

PARA LOS AMANTES DE LO FUERA DE LUGAR

gracias al chava por este video controversial y filosofico, en verdad necesito este tipo de medicina para entender cual dificil puede ser la vida, cual incertidumbre nos envuelve la mente, cual capaces podemos ser los seres humanos de expresarnos de maneras tan admirables .
si te sientes solo y deprimido esto es para ti, de lo contrario tambien velo

Taking a break in guadalajara, just a few hourse before i take the plane to ol`Europa again I saw a great opera thanks to my friend olga, LA VIDA BREVE from Manuel de Falls. It was an argentinian production, al thou they say UDG made it, the project was totally argentinian, I must say it was really great , nice set , it vas virtually all video. nevertheless it blended OK into the 1 hour opera. I really enjoyed. specially the moving of the clouds and the ending. Heres a snapshot of the opera. I dont understand why you can`t take pictures in any opera. anyway i took it.

loosing our souls, getting rid of tensions and worries, heres a glimps of what we usually do when we are not using our head in creative inventions, when we are not thinking about set design, or scenography, or architecture, or anithing, heres our inspiration of everyday life.

descanzo veracruzano

after a long week job in veracruz without seeing our faces during daylight we finally enjoyed the last day of our stay. al thou we enjoyed just two hours of veracruz before going back to ol` chaotic Mexico city, we encountered LA NEGRA GRACIANA, world famous musician, with her music she compressed the essential of veracruz in three songs! and thanks to her our smile will last longer!!. great opera premiere!!, great moment the music. Their happiness will remain in my heart. the town of the happy people!!

OPERA, " AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS" During the PREMIERE!!!! 100 % FULL , NOT EVEN A NEEDLE COULD FIT IN THE THEATRE CLAVIJERO!!!!!!!

COWNTDOWN TO THE OPERA, MAN, VERACRUZ IS GREAT PLACE TO BE, SHAME THAT IM IN THE THEATRE ALL DAY AND NOT ENJOYING THE SUN. TOMORROW IS THE OPENING DAY. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE SUCESSFULL

Just thinking how would it feel like to be him, reading, looking, being surrounded by all strange aspects of every day life, having his experience, his knowledge, and yet having his weak strenght to handle so bizzare situations in the rest of his almost empty days left.

i guess im lucky........

Last day in Mexico city, last day in the center of mexican caos, I quite like it at the end, i really learned much from this CHILANGOS. After analysing my stay here i realizzed that unlike me the other two members of atelier efimero are having a really good time, i didn´t why?? maybe because I expected much about myself, I ask to much to myself when theres something related with set design. I really find it soo, good, I really like my life, I could die today knowing that my life has been greatful to me! On the other hand there are somethings I m starting to ask myself. My friends went to a big party, i didnt, i just didnt felt like it, all thou I really wanted to go days before, My mind is starting to play strange fellings to me, maybe i just miss sevi, maybe i just had it with this politics

i dont know, this blog day is strange, im confused

but ill be better tomorrow

I fell like Charlie Browns skull after the cow parade in guadalajara and the FIL. sunday afternoon in FIL worst than the crowded hours in the mexico city metro.

iM MAKING A PAUSE IN MY SET DESIGN PROCESS, MAKING A BIG PAUSE. AFTER GOING TO THE INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR IN MY TOWN AND GETTING A TASTE OF MY SWAMP BORING TOWN I DECIDED TO TAKE IT EASY, LEAVING MY TWO RIGHT ARMED FRIENDS JACHEN AND CHAVA WITH THEIR NEW FRIENDS. I JUST FELT BEING ALONE FOR A WHILE. BREATHING MORE EASILY AND SLOWER IN GUADALAJARA´S NOT SO GOOD , BUT BETTER AIR.
NOW I´M A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED WITH MY TOWN BECAUSE THIS STUPID EPIDEMIC COW PARADE IS HERE AND AS USUAL THEY TRY TO PAINT THIS STUPID COWS LIKE SOMETHING RELATED TO MEXICO OR SOMETHING RELATED WITH THE WORD VACA.... THATS COW IN SPANISH. I JUST CAN´T STAND THIS FIBER GLASS MAMALS... IT MAKES THE CITY LOOK RIDICULOUS, IT MAKES ARTISTS LOOK RIDICULOS AND IT MAKES ME FEEL RIDICULOUS. THEY ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID, BAD MADE AND POINTLESS. AND THE WORST OF ALL THE ARTISTS COMPLAIN BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS DAMAGE THEIR COWS, AS IF THEY WERE A GREAT WORK OF ART, COMEBODY PUTTED A CHEWING GUM ON A HORN AND THE ASSHOLES COMPLAIN ABOUT IT . AS IF THEY PUTTED A CHEWING GUM IN THEIR ASS. !!
OH MAN, IM GLAD I WONT SEE THIS COWS THAT OFTEN.
