Starting asterisks of the creation process:

Personal experience brought to the universal, the right to mistakes and failure, the resistance of the imperfect and the beauty of life.

Taking what we are as dirty and perfect material, de-constructing our civilised being, erring, touching the forbidden and perhaps going through it.

In society, from a young age we construct ourselves, understanding rules and trying to respect them... it is the pact for living in society. The Buffoons have not understood the rule, or rather they have understood it, but they have turned it around in their favour. It is the pleasure of living light and not as victims of the prohibitions. It is taking life in our favour, creating for ourselves the possibilities that society does not give us, making the most of every “no” to create for ourselves an alternative route to “yes”.

Exclaiming existence as an intrinsic right to happiness, to awareness, to our human ecology.

Validating poetry and fantasy, opening it to the world, planting it like a flag.

Moving the body, becoming aware of breathing, of the doors a sigh can open for us.

Understanding what respect is, what equality is, what freedom is for each one.

And what it is for everyone together.

Understanding what dignity is.

Revising and perhaps creating our own definitions.

Observing, negotiating and building.

Explaining and proposing.

Crying, laughing and hugging, being happy to be. Doing it willingly and with full awareness.

Removing your voice and vindicating yourself.

Planting a seed, and not a Monsanto one.
