“The work reflects on the wrong causes for which one carries on things that should not. That cause is not desire, desire, attachment but is done because of guilt, fear, nostalgia, duty to be, mandates, inertia or custom,” says Vanesa Butera, Author and protagonist of “Chorus. Cáscara. House”, with the direction of Sebastián Suñé that is presented on Saturdays at 20.30 in the Kairós method.
The unipersonal musical with songs and texts of Buffer It has live musicians Javier López del Carril, Carlos Britez, Lisandro Etala and Matías Cadoni. The story revolves around an impossible cleaning that takes place when a move, a break or an unexpected blow are the perfect opportunity to give again and rearrange the space. We talked with Buffer
Journalist: What are the texts you wrote for the work?
Vanesa Betra: They have to do with giving again, changes, those hinge moments in which the house must be rearranged and see what we have left over and not. It puts an example the move, which is that moment when one literally starts to build boxes and begins to see the things it has stored and never uses and should use more often, or those things at hand that are not used and should be stored. You do it when you move but should do it poetically when you have another type of move, when you leave a link, a job, a relationship, a blow and you have to continue. What happens when we go for a hinge moment and we have to rearrange ourselves, re -assemble that full truck in which we carry things because we are accustomed and not because we really want.
Q.: The title of the work seems an alias.
VB: It has some irony because alias today is a transfer, something extremely immediate, that you almost do not realize and send it in a second. There are things that should be that immediate and have been for years. There is an ironic parallel.
Q.: Is there any stand? How is this monologue?
VB: It flirts with stand up, has a strong union with the everyday, talks about these things that happen to us at the time of rearranging, going to the small, identifiable. What happens to us all, but from a reflexive, self -critical place in that criticizes how difficult it is to leave things, let go. And he acknowledges that it is difficult, it is not Hashtag to release and how easy, it is nice to say it but to do is difficult.
Q.: How is your character?
VB: He is completely lost, he does not know where to start, he is seeing how to rebuild. On the literal march makes decisions as the work advances. It is evaluating what type of cleaning it does and is impossible, of those that seem to never be done, it goes from being a literal to poetic cleaning, to make room, so that the new can enter but at the same time without discarding the old. It is a strange and difficult way to rearrange space with things that one does not want to get rid of but does not want them to hinder. Look for the perfect balance in which these things do not prevent progress.
Q.: What reflection does the work on fear, guilt, nostalgia?
VB: The work reflects on the wrong causes for which one carries on things that should not. That cause is not the desire, desire, attachment, are understandable things, but does it because of guilt, fear, nostalgia, must be, mandate, inertia, custom. How difficult it is to identify what one decides not to release because he thinks he does not want but it is because he cannot do anything else and leave behind. The work laughs at us and forgives for not being able to do anything else.
Q.: How do you see theater and culture?
VB: It is a complicated moment of culture, resistance and helping us among colleagues to be able to release and disseminate. The sense of community of need to join us is noticeable. The public’s effort is seen to come and spread, in turn the relief that generates seeing a play or concert at a time when reality hits strong. They are difficult times to do but at the same time important and necessary to be able to do.
