”Living the bunker as a unique, immense corpus of resonance”

Curiously, the technical term used to design a military construction for defense is the same to that representing also the place and the concept of the fifth essence in Art: the Opera.

The motivation of this work is the desire of giving voice to the exclusive acoustic qualities of the Fortress Bunker No. 3, through an itinerary in its interior conceived as both a theater and a sonorous labyrinth.

Tiziano Popoli, the author, confronts the architectural characteristics of the Bunker to the form of a trumpet or an human ear, and stated the following: “the experience could be also an immeasurable ear, able to perceive a kind of sense of war -kriegerische Stimmung- that this place expels, in such a manner that is possible to modulate and transmute this sense through the resonance of its secret corpus and externalize it in the way a ritual trumpet does."

todo lo contrario, según Pedro Juan

"Los flojos siempre se lamentan y lloran.
Los débiles creen que ya hoy todo termina.
En realidad es todo lo contrario: hoy es cuando todo comienza."

Pedro Juan, La Habana, 1995.

Definitivamente / Definitively

NOSOTROS
Esta protesta sería ahogada una vez y otra. Nosotros solo teníamos pocos años y un impulso de lucha que siempre terminaba en un llanto de furia e impotencia. Ellos tienen la fuerza y es difícil seguir cuando se sabe desde antes la derrota.
Los cobardes desertamos y poderosamente nos fue envolviendo la riqueza de una música polifónica, las líneas o los matices de un cuadro, un libro de lectura interminable. Era un afán desesperado de evasión.
Sin embargo, yo sé que cada ves que pasa a nuestro lado un hombre con la mirada perdida y triste, vuelve a nosotros la antigua inquietud, y con el remordimiento un débil deseo de regresar definitivamente algún día.
