CRAPPY PARADOXICALLY SET ON TOUR
I’ve seen so many different sets around the world, in and out the theatre space. I’ve seen good and bad examples about urban interventions, the theories of Marc Augé´s place and no-place has been read, used, re-used, dismantled, and reinvented by so many artists.. They have been making different works with distorted perceptions of the transitory promenade Le corbusier started to use in his dynamic houses, I’ve seen how time and travel are physically connected to humans, and how modern human depends on speed to travel and think, but the rules of time are paradoxically based on how people act and react on modern life and its consequences. I’ve seen a lot of different things in life, some more ephemeral, and other less ephemeral.
Let me put you now something inside your mind!! Let me put you 2 concepts:
we know that the concept of eternal is based more or less on the time human being have reached its greatness giving a legacy to new generations to come, And this legacy is still around us, example, the Mayan pyramids. These pieces of architecture have been around us for a long time, and it seem they will last forever!!!

On the other hand ephemeral as the little prince find out is the concept people use everywhere, every time. ”ephemeral is something created with a really near death" And this concept is also based on the speed and time we use to do ordinary things. Travel, for instance is something kind of boring right now because the concept of traveling usually means “to be there, somewhere, still, not moving at all, just admiring. Before this modern concept, voyage meant moving from one place to another not having a specific goal, not knowing where you will finish, where you will stop!, the travel is everything, the voyage is the absolute sensation, the sensation to move, be part of time and speed in your own terms, your own rules, becoming phenomenological about it.
The problem begins when the word TOUR and TOURISM came to town. And everything was screwed, especially when money is the center of attention. Eternity and Ephemeral, have a strange connection somehow, surreal in a way but great, BUT... when you mix the empty and sarcastic concept of making tour with the product of wise thinking for eternal greatness...the result then is destructive... to people, to our souls, to our architecture and set designs, to our culture. And when you blend it more whit the plastic empty balloon tire culture like some countries have, (specially the one on tope of my country) I don’t even want to describe the final result we make.
All this comments because I went to the beach last week and saw the most horrible set design ever, if you can call it that, cardboard Mayan pyramid made for toilets, anyway, I give you some photos on eternal ephemeral shit!!!
