Millones de personas portando banderas, capuchas, pa\u00f1oletas y pancartas.

Millones de proyecciones por toda la sala nos muestran que no hay nadie en sus casas ni puestos de trabajo, no hay nadie en las calles. El ruido es ensordecedor y la temperatura insoportable producto del fuego y los cuerpos. Las paredes del teatro empiezan a sudar, el suelo tiembla y la estructura del escenario cruje. En un primer plano el pueblo despliega un lienzo donde se puede leer con grandes y gruesas letras negras sobre fondo blanco \u00a8El pueblo ya no es lo que siempre falta\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>III.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>El pueblo ha salido de escena,\u00a0 la gente ha empezado sus eternas peregrinaciones a las zonas oscuras del teatro, desapareciendo conforme pasa el tiempo.\u00a0 El espacio, ahora vac\u00edo, ha quedado en penumbras y obrando una ausencia aterradora.

Millions of people waving flags, wearing hoodies and kerchiefs, and carrying posters. The theatre begins to fill with the smell of barricades burning at the back of the stage. with smoke, lasers, and fireworks. The seats are completely empty; everyone is on the stage, including the box office personnel and the usher. No one is missing. Millions of projections throughout the theatre show us that no one is home or at work, no one is in the street. The noise is deafening and the temperature produced by the fire and the bodies unbearable. The theatre\u2019s walls begin to sweat, the floor shakes, and the stage creaks. At the front the people unfurl a banner that reads, in large black letters on a white background, \u201cThe people are no longer what is always missing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>III.<\/p>\n<p><em>The people have left the stage. They have begun their eternal peregrinations into the dark parts of the offstage, disappearing as time passes. The space, now empty, remains in penumbra, creating a terrifying absence. Millions of projections continue, showing the empty streets &#8212; no one in the kiosk in front of the theatre, no one telling us the time on television, no one smoking on the side of the road. Frightening, but there\u2019s no one to see it.
