Caramelito Carrizo was talking about his new one-man show in his play and started crying live. The reason is because it is based on his experience and the death of his brother.
“I just wanted to tell you, it’s a one-man story that I wrote recounting the bond with my brother. It’s the chronicle of my life and what it meant for me to be born next to him,” he began.
And Caramelito added: “I tell this story to him in a letter that I write to him. I tell him that I want to tell him everything that happened from the time I was born and until he died, on January 11, 2022.”
“A year after his death I was about to fall asleep one night and I started singing Winter Confessions in my head and I began to understand… Martín and I listened to that song a lot when we were little,” he added.
“And I said ‘oh, what this song is saying seems as if it were recounting Martín’s last time’. From that feeling I had with Winter Confessions,” he said.
“I found that other songs of ours – I say ours because we composed music together for my boys and girls – also had lyrics now written for him,” Carrizo remarked.
“All of that was transformed into a play and it is the chronicle of my life with those songs and those poems. It is his joy that is there… I raised a white flag,” he said.
“I wave it saying ‘Carrizo! Carrizo!’ And I swear he is there, and how could he not be if in my 30 years of work he was there and I was with him? This work is as if it were the one we did together without being physically together,” he concluded.
