A theater where the actions are so strong and accurate that no person in the audience can do anything else but allow themselves to be broken by it; a theater that does not need any explanation or logic to move the audience… the kind of theater that poor and rich, culture and uncultured can understand, just because it is connected to humanity.

Gabriel Torres.

My art… I think that’s a big statement since I believe I haven’t done anything yet to be called an artist or deserve the right to own an art. I think I should start from there… for me art is the highest level of communication possible in humanity. It’s something that only happens when society has a necessity to express something… then! a peculiar being is born to realize what that is, that being “cooks it in his head” and at some point when it is boiling and pouring out, he develops it, polishes it and crafts it to scream it loud and wake everybody from their dreams…something like Becket, or Coco, or Matha Graham. I haven’t gotten to that but I’ll surely do one day and if not, I’ll farm it for the next ones.

Acting is the only thing that wakes me up, it is the way my eyes see life, the way I communicate with my environment and the way I analyze people… I studied music since I was 5 years old, I never fell for it even though I’m very sensitive when it comes to music… Suddenly I found myself on stage, acting for a little scene at the end of a workshop I took, just because. Believe me! what I felt that night was my life showing me the path I had to take and since then, I’ve been involving myself more and more in this twisted world, I’ve been growing as a person through my believes and my few experience in theater.

The stage has a peculiar feeling I can not explain yet, it’s something like two magnets pulling me to opposite sides while my body vibrates, it is me embracing the deepest fears and allowing my blood to raise, my brain to stop, my heart to beat stronger, it is the only space where I truly can communicate myself with others without pretending, or misunderstanding.

Now, writing about the kind of art that I like… I think we need to look at theater in a different way now, I don’t think things should be done from the place where reality is form, things have to be form from the place where humans happen or anything else happen, that’s the kind of theater that I like, where it happens, where it is present and it happens no matter it’s connection to order or realism. A theater where the actions are so strong and accurate that no person in the audience can do anything else but allow themselves to be broken by it; a theater that does not need any explanation or logic to move the audience… the kind of theater that poor and rich, culture and uncultured can understand, just because it is connected to humanity.
