A veces estoy en ellos. Subida. Montada. Pero cuando no hay p\u00fablico. En general en horarios extra\u00f1os. Cuando los sonidos de las calles refieren a actividades de la vida cotidiana. <i>Se compran, colchones, estufas, refrigeradores \u2026 <\/i>Hace 20 a\u00f1os llegu\u00e9 a un teatro que nunca hab\u00eda imaginado. Pero parecido a muchos otros en los que hab\u00eda estado. Ese nuevo teatro me llev\u00f3 a este futuro que hoy vivo. Muchos teatros que siguen apareciendo. Incontables. Ahora vivo en la ciudad que m\u00e1s teatros tiene &#8212; o por lo menos eso dicen &#8212; y trabajo para una ciudad en la que la gente de teatro est\u00e1 uni\u00e9ndose y formando una gran coalici\u00f3n, luchando por sus derechos. Mi padre viene de un pa\u00eds donde en los teatros ahora se debate el futuro de una naci\u00f3n. Mis hijxs han crecido acompa\u00f1\u00e1ndome a los teatros. Me enamor\u00e9 de mi marido en uno de los teatros m\u00e1s lindos del mundo. Entonces, no imagino un teatro, vivo, respiro, sue\u00f1o teatro. Pero si a\u00fan as\u00ed tuviera que imaginar, entonces quisiera imaginar que las lenguas que han sido olvidadas, aquellas que se siguen hablando en muchas partes del mundo, formar\u00e1n parte de la nueva dramaturgia. Una dramaturgia donde las lenguas dominantes dejar\u00e1n lugar a las lenguas que casi nadie habla. Esas lenguas originarias que lentamente est\u00e1n siendo rescatadas por varixs artistas en todo el mundo. Ese es el teatro que imagino. Uno donde nos sentemos a escuchar el renacimiento de esas lenguas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagined and desired theaters. Sometimes I am on stage. Off stage. Backstage. But when there is no one to see me. No audience. Most of the time at odd hours. The sounds in the streets are sounds of everyday life. <i>Se compran, colchones, estufas, refrigeradores\u2026 <\/i>Twenty years ago I arrived at a theater I had never imagined before. Yet it looked like many theaters where I had been. That new theater took me to this future, where I am now. Many theaters after that. Too many to count. I live in a city that has more theaters than any other \u2014 or at least that is what they say. I work for a city in which its theater community is uniting unlike any other time to fight for their rights. My father comes from a country where right now people are in theaters debating the nation&#8217;s future. My kids have grown up in the various theaters where I have worked. I fell in love with my husband in one of the most beautiful theaters in the world. I do not imagine a theater, because I live theater, breathe it in and out; I dream it. But, if I had to imagine a theater, then I&#8217;d like to imagine that the languages that have been forgotten, which are still spoken in many parts of the world, would be part of this new playwriting. A playwriting in which dominant languages make space for the languages no one speaks; those original languages that are slowly being rescued by various artists around the world. That is the theater that I imagine. A theater where we could listen to the rebirth of those languages.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Translation by Alexandra Ripp.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I do not imagine a theater, because I live theater, breathe it in and out; I dream it.
