NOWHERE & EVERYWHERE!
When I thought about the idea of blogging for the upcoming
Artes de la Rosa’s new show “Maria de Buenos Aires”, what came to my mind was
the fear and the fascination I had when I took my first class of tango at 17
years old; a fear for the constant mutual body contact (sensual) which had not
really awakened then at mty early age, and a fascination for the dramatic music
and feelings aroused it aroused. Since then I realized Tango music has an enchantment, with many unexpected twists
and turns, and filled with dramatic tones.
“Maria de Buenos
Aires” as a whole is complicated to explain but even though I never
heard of Piazzolla before this, he did one of the best tangos I have ever
listened to in my life. This classic tale of love, lust, and hate was written
in an amazing type of music. My character, El Duende is more complicated then
anyone could’ve ever thought and his love for a woman who will never love him
back is sad… but it also amuses me; I think we all (or at least most of us) have
had experience with love never being returned.

I am so proud to be back at Artes de la Rosa with such a
magnificent production, even though I have to admit when the director showed me
the music I felt intrigued by the lyrics and poetry done by Herracio Ferrer,
but I was thrown of fbalance (even though Spanish is my first language) for the
type of slangs and versification; it aroused
the question of what the composer wanted to transmit to the audience. The
innovation of new theater and new talent that Artes de la Rosa is bringing to
Forth Worth is limitless. Mr. Adolfo has done a colossal interpretation of
“Maria…”, giving twists, love, passion, sensual movement, darkness and death a
new powerful meaning. Be prepared to travel to nowhere and to everywhere at the
same time because “Maria de Buenos Aires” will arrive soon.
