Vals - Luis Arambilet

A ballet of construction workers and heavy machinery in motion, sublimely dances Tchaikovsky's Swan lake.
Official selection Rainier International Film Festival 2007 and XXI ELJ Visual Arts Biennial 2006.

Short Synopsis:
Vals (Waltz) was created under an unusual set of circumstances.
During three months, at the same time every morning, video was captured and edited following a strange set of actions and reactions executed in perfect synchronicity by construction workers in the midst of hard labor, often bordering futility and the inexplicable, such as move mud from one place to another.
Vals can be dissected into layers, like peeling an onion or an
artichoke.
Beyond the obvious and hilarious contrast between the exquisite Swan's lake melody and the sweat pouring out from an intensive labor, rests a lesson of life. An accurate snapshot of the rigors
demanded by existence in a modern society.
Staged in a Caribbean island, far from the sophistication of other
latitudes, Vals serves the purpose to remind us, that everyday life break backs and destroy souls.

Mira ese Drum al cierre!! Y ella que "solo ve un hombre sin pantalones golpenado sin razon la puerta de un camion". Le digo, no es un hombre que es un Moreno, y ella "Que es un moreno". Un moreno es un hombre. Ya. Que para comprender esta obra hay que haber comido mucho mangu con salami y haber bebido mucho Mabi.

No esta nada mal para comenzar el ano y para estar fuera de tempodara. Aqui a mi lado hay una supuesta experta y frecuentisima visitante de conciertos clasicos, pero todavia con la boca abierta buscando sentido a este su concierto. Yo le digo, A obras magistrales, como esta que aqui ves, asistia yo de gratis todos los dias en los dias que en RD vivia. Ella continua sin comprender.
