[ESP/ENG] Pierrot

Pierrot o Arlequín, es un personaje nacido en Italia y recreado innumerables veces por diversos artistas. Representa un payaso que entretiene a su auditorio generalmente con pantomima, y habitualmente se dibuja el rostro con colores pálidos y una lágrima acabada de salir, que para muchos se traduce en el sufrimiento o dolor interno del ser que se encierra y se desdobla para mostrar al mundo lo contrario.

En esta sesión quise homenajear este personaje e incluso convertirme en él por la impotencia muchas veces de querer expresar alegría cuando en verdad nos sentimos inmensamente tristes, lo cual en algún punto, nos ha pasado a todos.

“De profesión cascanueces
de vocación nube gris
que llueve sobre las aceras
de las calles de París.

Ríe el payaso y alegra
a quien se detiene a ver
Sonríe el payaso ahogando
su tristeza y su desdén.

…Hay tiempos en que quisiera
ser un payaso también!”

                                           **English Text**

Pierrot or Harlequin, is a character born in Italy and recreated countless times by various artists. He represents a clown who entertains his audience usually with pantomime, and usually draws his face with pale colors and a tear just come out, which for many translates into the suffering or inner pain of the being that is locked and unfolds to show the world the opposite.
In this session I wanted to pay homage to this character and even become him because of the impotence many times of wanting to express joy when in truth we feel immensely sad, which at some point, has happened to all of us.

"By profession nutcracker
by vocation gray cloud
that rains on the sidewalks
of the streets of Paris town.

The clown laughs and cheers
whoever stops to watch
Smiles the clown drowning
his sadness and his disdain.

...There are times when I wish
to be a clown as well!"
