Before Night Comes - Antigone Speech
This woman has been following us for twentyfive centuries, since Sophocles introduced her to the Athenian democracy in the Great Dionysians. This version, by Eduarda Dionísio, take us to the intimacy of the woman-heroine-sister. This woman, who dares to challenge a despot in defense of the supreme law of love, reveals us, perhaps, the contours of the Democratic State. How far can we go, in power? When will that power stop serving democracy and begin to destroy the human being?

Remarks for a curriculum
I am recalcitrant. I do not really know why. At first I could argue that I did not do anything worth mentioning. Later with time, facts and events pile up. Primordial matter for the building of a text that in some way allows a formal presentation. Chronologically, it builds a pathway, through its relevance it builds a discourse and yet it seems to be void of meaning.
In a talk during dinner, I attentively heard : -“I would like to receive music sheets with just the notes, no indications”. Wise sentence here translated, highlighted from its context, without copy right. Thus, I am just what I do, without omission. Perhaps it will make more sense to only place what I’d like to do. Vital information. For what more can I be, what more can I expose, than a simple succession of wishes.
I would like to never stop writing, playing. I would like to die at an advanced age, enjoying good health while breathing. Just that...
Joaquim Pavão, 2008
