WE WERE WAITING FOR YOU: An escape from the commonplace

“We were waiting for you”, You were destined to find us, we are your family, we are your friends, we will not yell at you, we will channel your bad thoughts, reinvent yourself, take back what you say, don’t talk, listen, devastate others with your submissive attitude.

With text, scenery, direction and interpretation by Antonio L. Pedraza and Jose Andrés López, In an ironic and sarcastic way, these two creators of truth give us a sample of the different situations where the supposed spirituality, mysticism, concentration, relaxation, reiki and, if necessary, the hubbub, the properties and possessions, equal-to-equal relationships and others that rot, because life is, or may be, perishable, but you are not, friend, friend, companion, companion, listen to your guru, you are in the soul immortal, no one can bring you down, everyone will be silent before your sentences, as they do Coelho or Bucaynotice.

The work has text, advice, dance, real testimonies, ritual, myth, liturgy,… they only need to levitate, but I think they will achieve it one day.

We immerse ourselves in a kind of astral journey, in an escape from the ordinary everydaythey make us enter the world of sects, assumptions, vibrations, and they themselves fall into their own networks, hare krishna, the mantra, the chakras, mudras, tatachín and the mother who gave birth to them, transcendental meditation , Tibetan bowls and incense, and we don’t know if gold and myrrh.

“We were waiting for you” In moments of disbelief, of endless wars and invasions, of political, economic and social disappointment, it seems that we are more vulnerable to being captured by all types of groups, sects, communities, collectives, who claim that we will feel inner healing and, therefore, both, the external, the physical, the understanding of chaos, the non-social commitment, and that each one manages as best he can.

And love? Also, an inevitable part of our essence, and curiosity, and loneliness, and disorientation, will make us live everything intensely, perhaps forcing smiles, because everything is part of existence, and tomorrow does not exist, although I am the resurrection and life, the return, that it seems that you are in heaven, I mean, in the darkness, because we are nothing and we possess nothing, that is why we will have to donate it, that is why we will have to distribute it, that is why we will have to be silent, that later , everything is known.

That’s why theater, that’s why poetry, that’s why and much more, come to my house, to our house, We were waiting for you.
