There are so many people who are talented and greater then anybody else in their field, but we don't really hear about them because they can't get promotion, they're not well known, they don't have the resources to show us how wonderful and amazing they are. But they exist. And sometimes they come to, say, a tiny island that not many are aware of, and they just do what they do and go away. And what we are left with is our jaws dropped down to the ground.
Zecora Ura Artists presented us with a play that left me speechless for ages. Not a play itself, mind you. I have seen Shakespeare's "Tempest" many times before but this version was the most beautiful, charming and amazing! Directed by Gabriel Gawin, starring Agnes Brekke (whom I'm in love with), Jorge Lopes Ramos and Umai Lopez de Armentia (Yes! only three of them!) "The Tempest" is an extra-ordinary journey to the other side of consciousness. It starts with a young girl masturbating with her doll. And then it just gets more and more preposterous. They use a whole lot of Latino energy and it's infectious. Audience wants to dance, scream, get involved. And oh, do they get the chance?! (Just beware of tomatoes when you sit in a front row).
You can see that the Artists actually enjoy themselves, their ideas are out of this world, their inventiveness infinite. Things that they do with their bodies - well, you would need a lot of exercise to get there!
I was crying with laughter, I was crying with sadness (especially when Miranda sang with THE voice). It's one of the most emotional pieces of art I have ever come across. Please, don't miss it when they play in your town.
