Director Statement

"No doubt (whether it is obvious or not), I earnestly look to nourish myself from rhythm and sincerity. I get the rhythm form works like "Crisantempo" by Haroldo de Campos, "How to write" by Gertrude Stein, "Los motivos del son" by Guillén, "In the Room of Never Grieve" by Anne Waldman, and sincerity, from the pens of writers like Wislawa Szymborska, Ángel González, Rafael Alberti, Antonio Tabucchi, Saul Bellow, António Lobo Antunes, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Antonin Artaud... James Joyce, Vallejo, Machado or Georges Bataille. Honestly, other important references for me are the (musical and literary) works of Violeta Parra, Chico Buarque, Arnaldo Antunes, Arcadio Hidalgo, El Negro Ojeda and many more musicians and lyricists who create from the oral tradition of literature."
