BLOG 5 - A Photograph And Its Story

 

Ilha Grande is an island located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I took this photo by myself in the summer of February 2019, when I went on vacations with one of my best friends. This photo shows one of the paradisiacal beaches that this island has, which are known for their transparent waters. This one was kind of a lagoon, because there were other mini islands full of vegetation around it.

That summer day, there were few people on that beach and they were all very happy.

What I like about that moment is that it shows one of the quietest beaches I have ever seen, besides it was also like being in another space. Also, I loved being able to see my feet while swimming, the water had very little swell.

I remember the air on my face, I was very happy at that moment. It was perfect.

PLAY: "La Mala Clase"

On this occasion I have chosen the play: “La Mala Clase” by Luis Barrales from 2009, which tells us about the harsh reality of Chilean public schools.

I have chosen this theme because it inspires me. I consider that education is a reflection of what happens in our country, this play has led me to ask me a lot of things, to question my role as an artist, who I want to be within society. Besides being a play that has accompanied me for many years.

It´s a constant reminder that nothing has changed yet, and that keeps me standing, to try to contribute, even if it´s a small grain to the change. It was also one of my biggest inspirations for me to have studied Theater, because it was one of the first plays I did in a school workshop.

It´s also important for me to mention that, with a group of friends, we are working on this play again and I´m very happy with that.
