Hamlet 2009

-




Was this the most beautiful day of my life? Some time ago I translated an essay written by Antonio Zopetti: The most beautiful day of your life. May be it was one of those days... we were queuing since 5:45 AM... of course we were thinking it would be fantastic to be able get tickets and see Jude Law as Hamlet...but, it was much more than we have expected.
He is a HUGE actor, I have no words.... the scenography was so minimalistic... the whole was based on acting. The work of art lasted 3 hours... again, no words for that.

Fue acaso este uno de los días más hermosos que he tenido en mi vida? Hace algún tiempo traduje un texto de Antonio Zopetti: El día más hermoso de tu vida. Quizás éste fue uno de esos días... estábamos haciendo cola desde las 5:45 AM.... porque por supuesto pensábamos que sería maravilloso encontrar boletos y ver a Jude Lawe como Hamlet... pero, fue mucho más de lo que todas esperábamos.
Es es ENORME como actor, no hay palabras.... la escenografía minimalista...todo basado en actuación pura. Tres horas duró la obra de arte...no hay palabras, repito.

Zbelnu,

Hubiese estado maravilloso compartir contigo esta gran obra de teatro. Yo quiero también leer Hamlet de nuevo y recordar esa magistral actuación :)

aghh! qué suerte! seguro que Jude Law estaba magnífico en ese personaje enigmático y torturado. Shakespeare utilizó una historia de moda de la época pero acabó hablando de cosas que le incumbían a él muy personalmente, Y los ingleses tienen una tradición teatral incomparable,

y ahora que lo pienso, seguro que la relectura de shakespeare te inspira para tu pintura, tan sensual, tan vital en sus palabras,

abrazos

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
