Paloma's steps

An empty and full stage. Cardboard boxes that keep secrets of the soul, sighs of longing. A handful of memories that bleed, that punish, that lacerate. Paloma flapped her wings in the open ocean. She wanted, she fought, she struggled. She sought, together with her colleagues, to build a more humane,...

Cardboard boxes that keep secrets of the soul, sighs of longing. A handful of memories that bleed, that punish, that lacerate. Paloma flapped her wings in the open ocean. She wanted, she fought, she struggled. She sought, together with her colleagues, to build a more humane, more just world. She then went to Peru with her libertarian passion and her literacy mission. She returned to her Buenos Aires with the same rudder and the same compass. She recited to the sky her love, her hope and her gratitude for life. Life just because, no more and no less than that. Cardboard boxes that become a cave, a cave that is a womb and a nest. The only place where Mercedes can protect herself and let her ever new, always eternal tears flow. Because there is a gypsy law that says that if they kill the person, you love the most, it's better that you don't know where, or when, or why. Cardboard boxes that become a wall, that become stone. How to scream so much pain? Mercedes explores the words of her sister Paloma and those of her mother from the depths of her own existential land. A sister that she does not understand, who delves into the abyss, who remains hanging in the tears of a macabre absence. A mother who suffers like a wounded animal because they have killed one of her babies. Among them, a dove that draws the contours of a better world. More human, more free, united with life. (Silvina Pizarro, gacetilla de prensa de Los pasos de Paloma, 2013)   Un escenario vacío y pleno. Cajas de cartón que guardan secretos del alma, suspiros de anhelos. Un puñado de recuerdos que sangran, que castigan, que laceran. Paloma batía sus alas en pleno océano abierto. Ella quería, ella luchaba, ella bregaba. Ella buscaba, junto a sus compañeros, la construcción de un mundo más humano, más justo. Así se fue al Perú con su aleteo libertario y su misión de alfabetización. Volvió a su Buenos Aires con el mismo timón y la misma brújula. Le recitó al cielo su amor, su esperanza y su agradecimiento a la vida. La vida porque sí, ni más ni menos que eso. Cajas de cartón que se convierten en una cueva, una cueva que es útero y nido. El único lugar donde Mercedes puede protegerse y soltar las lágrimas siempre nuevas, siempre eternas. Porque hay una ley gitana que dice que te maten a quien más quieras, que no sepas ni dónde, ni cuándo, ni por qué. Cajas de cartón que se hacen muro, que se hacen piedra. ¿Cómo gritar tanto dolor? Mercedes recorre las palabras de su hermana Paloma y las de su madre desde el núcleo de su propia tierra existencial. Una hermana que no entiende, que pisa el abismo, que se queda colgada en el llanto de la ausencia macabra. Una madre que sufre como un animal herido porque le han matado a una de sus crías. Entre ellas, una paloma que dibuja los contornos de un mundo mejor. Más humano, más libre, enhebrado a la vida.
