About THE ONES FROM THERE

I'm afraid, I confess. It's probably the years that have made me more fragile. It's the sound of my children's inhaled air while they sleep, making me see the world bigger and myself smaller. Cruelty isn't new, I know. Indifference, however, seems like a discovery of these times.

Theater has always had the ability in my life to remind me of my humanity. For better and for worse. Sometimes it made me feel less monstrous, it invited me to accept myself as different. Other times it shook me from my narrowness, forced me to put myself in uncomfortable places. To try to understand how complex life is. To break down prejudices and instant precepts. Theater as a distorted mirror that forces us to see as if for the first time. To hear as if for the first time.

"Los de ahí" (Those from there) is a small, invisible universe, full of life. Ignored beings, whose faces and names we normally wouldn't remember, clumsily unfold their stories while delivering packages. Not knowing who sent them, ignoring the content, not knowing the language of the country where they live.

Life, however, springs forth amid the frenzy of bicycles arriving and departing, beyond words. It is in their bodies. In the distant music carried by their voices.

And in the unwavering desire to exist despite everything. To occupy a place in the world. To be remembered by someone. I don't want to see them from afar, to point at them with compassion. We're no more than a step away from being as foreign, invisible, and orphaned as they are.

If theater allows me to inject a piece of life there, to remind me of my humanity, I'll know why I'm doing it. A small, fair fight. To combat fear.
