Jose Jalane at KINANI Art Festival

 

My friend’s performance.
The title is called “UTOPIA”.

I asked him, What things are behind the show to express for?
He answered.

There was a person who lived in the deep forest, he slept along side of the bonfire.
He saw beautiful dream. But the dream just flew so fast. Always the perfect dream ends so fast.

In this country, the people are always suffering in between the beautiful utopia and the tough reality.
Even if they want to feed the children, there is no job.
Even if they want to get an good education, the facility and the quality is not prepared.
Even if they are suffering from the illness, they can’t reach to the treatment.
Even if they want to show their art, there are no market.

He expressed this tough sadness on be half of Mozambicans.
What a deep sadness but with the beautiful way to indicate!
This is the way of the art. Beautiful.

友人のパフォーマンス、「ユートピア」。
森の奥深くに住む住人が、焚き火の側で完全な夢をみている。でも夢はあっという間に覚めてしまう。完璧な夢はすぐに目の前から消えていく。

たとえ子供を養いたくくても仕事がない。
たとえ教育を受けさせたくても設備も質も不十分。
たとえ病気に苦しんでいても治療が受けられず、
たとえアートを表現しようとも市場がなかったりする。

自分一人ではどうしようもない悲しみの中で苦しむモザンビーク人を代弁した彼。

内容はとても深く悲しく、
でもとても美しいやり方で表現する。

アートのあるべき姿だなぁと思う。
