(Stage poem by Paco Alfonsín Gergely.
From "The Cloven Viscount". Italo Calvino.)
Many years ago, when I started to live in UK, I read a sentence (headline in The Gardian) by Salman Rushdie:
"As far as we would not be prepared to face our ireeconciliable contradictions as a society, we will never be able to grow together"
Since then it became part of my inner motto. Not for everyone is to deal with his or hers inner irreconciliable contradictions, specially in this maniqueist society we live in. We experience momments of continuous polarization, in a world ful of "goodies" and "badies", winners and loosers. A world that in the 50s inspired Italo Calvino to write his trylogy of "fantasy characters". A world he did not understand and was continuously disappointing him, politically but specialy and deeply humanly.
Inspired by his short novel The Cloven Viscount we explore the duplicity or multiplicity of the essence of human beings. Calvino’s hero divided by a cannon bullet into two parts, the Bad and the Good sides of a noble, or as Hesse in his "Speppen Wolf" showed, the duality between the wolf and the human, the human and the beast living together in us.
A journey, maybe Not For Every One, through our continuous internal conflicts and contradictions, a journey towards making peace with our irreconciliable contradictions, with our glitchy nature.
