| Comment: | In La bujía de Stromboli (“The Candlestick of Stromboli”), the idea that organizes the composition of these works draws on a literary piece written specifically for it by Pilar Martín Gila, which will serve as a starting point for the development of the music and the components of the scene (video and lighting). A trip from Catania to Stromboli, brings into play the setting (action, destiny, stillness), through three discursive moments in which the collective voice of the navigator speaks; the log book (linear journey, the journey with a destination); the poetic prose (the impossibility of arrival, the action not destined); the poetry (the impossible return, the action ceased in an unearthly space). The wind is the driving force of the journey; its absence, immobility. The sea is the space that both directs the journey and detains it. The open space in which, paradoxically, cannot be escaped; it does not permit a destination. Stromboli is a consecrated place (mythical) that cannot be approached nor be neglected. The music is presented in a manner that counters the text, avoiding any descriptive reference in order to deepen the discursive forms it takes on (logbook, poetic prose and poetry), forcefully denying all lyricism in the poetry and searching for the highly expressive, in a literary game of the story about the action. |
