La Hechicera


1st Witch. When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

2nd Witch. When the hurly-burly's done, When the battle's lost and won.

3rd Witch. That will be ere set of sun.

1st Witch. Where the place?

2nd Witch. Upon the heath.

3rd Witch. There to meet with Macbeth

[William Shakespeare (1564-1616), British dramatist, poet. Witches, in Macbeth, act 1, sc. 1, l. 1-7. "Hurly-burly" means tumult of war.]

La Espera- Oleo

That would be waving and that would be crying, Crying and shouting and meaning farewell, Farewell in the eyes and farewell at the centre, Just to stand still without moving a hand. (Wallace Stevens (1879-1955), U.S. poet. "A A Waving Adieudieudieu.")

To my mother and her companion

Premonicion (Detail) by Yvette Boulet

This is a tribute to my mother, to her paintings and her writings.
She was a very creative, intelligent and funny woman. Many times she was full of wit and sarcasm, also she was my worst critic, but my best supporter. Without her support, I would have never become a dancer and eventually a choreographer.

She died last year, she gave up, she was tired.

This year her long time companion, the one that gave her so much love for the last 25 years, organized an exposition of some of her paintings; it was a ritual of love.

I make this space, a place to honour her and him. It is my own way of expressing my love to both of them.

I miss her so much
