This performance is based on being the 'Other'. The resilience to confront this projection is paralleled to the inflicted pain. Mental and/or physical torture contains the same amount of pain for the 'Other'.

Guillermo was a guest artist to explore the reality of the 'Other' in Australia with 10Sydney based artists from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds. He is defining himself as the American Indian as a metaphor for all dislocated and excluded cultures.

I dont understand any of the words or the plot but I definitely enjoyed the voice-over. Icant explain it but i feel it to be a masterpiece.

I am guessing the voice over is done by an arabic person i.e woman. Good call.weird but sensational piece.

well done.
