Contra las cuerdas (On the ropes)

Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain

3 - 4 Oct '09

Duo for electric cello and violoncellist who dances with violoncelo and with the cover of violoncelo and on the contrary.

I play violoncelo against the world. I dance against the words, that so many times have left me in the stockade. If I haven´t been against something it`s that I have not tried to understand it. I play in self-defense, with real ammunition. I play to not be so lonely. A-D-G-C and I crash my body against those four strings. My body. The breath. The children playing in the park. The public transport. Everything is violoncelo.
