what is it that interests me about text - aspirations

It is not the creation of an elaborate complicated text which will demand extreme attention of its listeners. It is not the development of a narrative. It is the game of time, the transformation and encounter of times within the poetic language. It is the rearrangement of the real enabled by discourse. It is the medium of words as tools for expressing the invisible and connecting us to what is absent. It is the parallel world which exists through words, transforming concepts into sensations. It is to create a circular text which exists within itself, like a dance, within its movements; a linear text that articulates with the exterior, that speaks of something outside its boundaries and yet transcends it. An arrangement of sounds, when sounds, or an arrangement of forms, that refers more to itself than to anything else, reminding the espectator of the subtleties of language, of poetry, of images that exist primarily through words. The espectators should feel this existence. I want “sound and all its echos to make the concrete surface of the poem dense.” And to remind the audience that “if in the end of the passage image seems to have exceeded discourse, this overcome was also true in the opposite sense: in order to reach the completion of the image, it was necessary to unfasten a chain of words.” *

I intend to create a performance determined by the deliverance of verbal text and in its creations, however, this should be done in a way that sequence is not important, that fragments overcome the whole. A circular storytelling which escapes from beginings and ends, losing itself in repetitions.
