CARACAS - As Mario Benedetti, Uruguay, the Cultural Center Tina Modotti in Venezuela continues to spread the 'idea of \u200b\u200ban Italian-other, which unites generations in a timeless flow. This time he did it with a three-day event dedicated to the great Uruguayan poet, a tribute to the first anniversary of the death organized in collaboration with the Embassy of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, the Uruguayan Venezuelan Center, media library and the Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos Rómulo Gallegos. A real success, which filled the halls of Celarg left standing at the door or large numbers of spectators.
open with 'Tres dias de Benedetti Alrededor' was the introduction of Tassino Marcos, President of the Italian origins of the Centro Uruguayo-venezolano, followed by the lecture given by Marialcira Matute (Journalism Award 2010) and Isidore Hugo Duarte, on ' interview with the author from the library media. The Cultural Center Tina Modotti then staged 'Relato de Puasa', stage adaptation of the work 'Pedro y el capitán' Benedetti, directed by the head of Tina Modotti, Anthony Nazzaro, and interpreted by the Group Theatre Comunardos: Amanda Key, and Jonathan Pulido José Ignacio Ochoa.
Relato de Puasa '
- The idea came to me when I saw the famous photo of U.S. soldier in Baghdad prison - says Nazzaro - holding an Iraqi prisoner on a leash like a dog. A stage
essential. Torture, tortured and memory in the background, relentlessly pounding the audience with the ticking of a typewriter. The world of the characters is a cube enclosed by two screens that force the audience to confront so suffocating with what, after all, is our world and our history.
- images are sharp - explains Nazzaro - of torture, oppression, violence. In other words: the globalization of everyday life. The video
throb of pain. A return to the past especially strong for Uruguayans present. One of the leaders of the Uruguayan Venezuelan Centre, broke into tears recalling his brother tortured and killed during the years of dictatorship. Twenty-five years had to wait for the official confirmation of his death. Many, perhaps too many, still waiting.
- You realize how the Charter of Human Rights is a Gregorian chant to useless, a litany - says Nazzaro - Member torture with their hands while singing. Italy has not yet signed the treaty against torture but in Rome there is a museum of torture nazi-fascist
... Violence is a typical human behavior, said Benedetti. Torturer and tortured change roles in a sadistic reciprocity. Here 'Relato de Puasa' stops.
- was too - explains Nazzaro -. History teaches us that the torturer leaves always immune. Spain, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, Italy and missing all the other countries of the world. No one has started a trial of the torturers. States guarantee the impunity and rape history. Torture - continue - a human behavior, wanting to hide it and forget it is a choice consciously inhumane.
"Dancing" Benedetti
The show did not want to leave the audience with Benedetti's painful to have the historical memory. He wanted to return the love life of the author ironic, ready to dialogue. So it came on the scene 'Tanguito Benedetti', passionate blend of poetry, tango and images with Marco Tassino as the narrator. On
poems dedicated to Tango by Benedetti, Eduardo Galeana juggling the bandoneon, the singer and dancers Yamandu Pereira Yore Rivas Zambrano and Frank telling with gestures and sounds of the verses of the Tango Montevideano. All the background of the images produced by the Cultural Center Tina Modotti, a 45-minute video about Montevideo and its protagonists: Torres Garcia, Gurvich, Onetti, Galeano. After the show, all the Uruguayan Centre.
- Benedetti is contemporary at all - explains Nazzaro -. Share a table with guys like 15 years old. It's nice to see how volatile an entity which has met Tina Modotti many high-level people who have contributed and participated in free of charge, providing time and expertise. With just a Mario Benedetti.
Among these, Isidoro Duarte, a great connoisseur of Benedetti and Eduardo Galeano's friend, who had in his hands the first draft of the famous opera 'Las Venas abiertas de America latina', Mark Tassin, director and writer of the film 'Milonga', the Ambassador of Uruguay, Jorge Mazzarovich permanently present, the actress Amanda Key, star of the film 'The hour 0' that will be presented to the public in a few months.
last day of 'Tres dias Alrededor de Benedetti is the' ponenciacción '"Mario Benedetti: a portrait in the form of poetry and one novel," conducted by Nazzaro with an "intervention" of the actor and writer Ezio Falcomer Academy of the Senses. Web (http://accademiadeisensi.podomatic.com/), his is "Theater of the voice" plays in English, without knowing the language, the story 'Five Dreams', on which he mounted a video Nazzaro. The irony of Benedetti, interpreting Falcomer of video.
- Many materials found on the web page of the Accademia dei Sensi - said Nazzaro - are used by Tina Modotti in her virtual classroom of Italian culture.
and Modotti Tina Modotti Benedetti
Why? Mario Benedetti Why?
- Tina Modotti is a different type of migration - says the director of the Center, Anthony Nazzaro - in Latin America that does not come only from starvation because of food but hungry to see and know another world. And in doing so discovers a new world vision, a new femininity ideology, un'inseparabilità between political and artistic dignity.
a different look, which does not create an Italian-distance and other barriers, but marks the meeting point. The feeling of those who are humble equal relationship with the new people, who receives, who stood at his side. Above all, do not take advantage of their knowledge and their culture to dominate.
to this intellectual honesty, then, to the fascination of artistic and political revolutionary spirit that united Benedetti and Modotti. Nazzaro says, about the photographer:
- It is no coincidence that the great Diego Rivera, in one of his murals, Tina Modotti to give the task to hand over their weapons to the farmers. Modotti, the photographer can be considered the first art history.
The Cultural Center Tina Modotti, even without subsidies, has already done and will do much more.
- We brought in Caracas poets David Swifts and Milo De Angelis - says Nazzaro - organized a three-day firearm on Pasolini Reveron, prepared video works of educational theater. Among these, 'Tina Modotti. One, no, a hundred thousand ', used by Monte Avila to present the book' Tinissima 'Elena Poniatowska during the' Festival of the Book 'in Caracas. Not to mention the participation of the Week Italian Language with 'ponenciacción' Galileo Galilei, the attendance at the Museum of Contemporary Art with the exhibition of video-poetry of the Italian group 'Nomads Worlds'; happening between the students and the poet David dell'UNEARTE Rondoni, always in the MAC. All
prepared in the living room Mogoillon-Nazaire, with Mariana Mogollon, president of Tina Modotti, folding leaflets, sewing curtains or marks on the ground with tape the perimeter of a non-existent stage.
- Without the help of Marian would not have achieved anything. It is she who transmits energy and continuous presence in Tina Modotti.
- I want to thank Carlos Silva, responsible Theatre France for giving us three options to try in a real theater before going on stage in Celarg. He, too, free of charge.
And the future?
- On the program - said the coordinator of the Cultural Center - a return to the stage in June with 'Relato de Puasa' and 'Entrevista Galileo'. Then - this is the dream - to find some sponsors of the Project on Dante in collaboration with the Dante scholar Giorgio Battistoni, which could become a material for all schools in Latin America, especially the Italian ones. And to think of a theater adaptation of 'Closed Door' by Sartre. Or perhaps that someone will come with a better proposal ...
