DREAMS
COHANACO

prefer brutal honesty to hypocrisy cunning: the cause of indigenous peoples former Indian tribes, Indian ex merda, former group of wild little creatures that do not deserve to live on earth rather than to work as slaves never touched me at all.

However, given my status as middle-class Buenos Aires with concerns that go beyond the General Paz , educated under the system sarmientiniano "succeeded in wiping out the Indians? For the savages of America feel an invincible repugnance could not help it. (...) Unable to progress. Their extermination is providential and helpful, sublime and great. They should be exterminated without even forgive the boy, who already has the instinctive hatred of civilized man, "by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento - 1844 © , and top with the Cross Catholic indoctrination of a denier of violence on behalf of the evangelization of the new continent remember that the priests at my school, always on the eve of October 12 to smear the floor and wash the sins of his Church, crushed to students with this awesome movie was The Mission, where the Jesuits Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons gave (apparently commonly used word among members of that congregation) your life to earn heaven, but no Oscar unfairly, and the Indians were more than mere instruments of that gain, all framed by a picture postcard did get the statuette from the Academy, a music made of winds and strings to bring the excitement efectivísima even in the face of insensitive spectator, and represents a breakthrough that my head has been questioned that story was long one that I had the first time I heard another version was in 1992, during the 500 years of ex discovery of America, now, always Later, consensual process of colonization and extermination / until that year in college studying memory location of the tribes into a political map number 3 (three) but no one explained how and why it had been wiped out of the territory / great truth: map is not the territory and has offered a reason for all communities who were victims of genocide for any historian irrefutable that Dante had its corollary here with the Desert Campaign that people like Conrad commanded Exalted! Villegas (Vallejos in Puig's work) and July (right) Argentino Roca, who, as noted by Osvaldo Bayer, for that and other clubs, he erected The most imposing monument in Buenos Aires, followed closely by Bartolome Mitre, another national seedling! / How long I had this paragraph! I hope that readers will not be lost among so many piles letter.

But move me, or at least feel guilty for this melodrama in our history? What I can have a guilty conscience I, a descendant of immigrants outcasts if any of the maternal, Irish starved post-crisis potatoes, and the paternal, Sephardic Jews who had to change their surnames, religion and customs to avoid death (tor) burned at the stake that after three or four generations wandering these land, my names are not yet even in the writing of a studio in the neighborhood of Almagro other bastard conqueror / air wonder: am I still middle class even without property?, in this case, membership is a privilege?

Against this background, I sat in the Cunil Cabanellas to attend the premiere of The Dreams of Cohanaco, Leandro Halperin and Mariana Chaud, towards the latter. When you open the program, read the following warning: "... it is an essay on indigenous peoples, not a scientifically rigorous study of anthropology. It is a fiction about a Tehuelche chief and his people .... " Those lines that precipitated my desire to immediately begin the show because it fits perfectly to my expectations and disabilities to get involved emotionally with a theme set in front of others for the reasons.

A play about Indians located at odds with the politically correct ways and drop the odious line that always seeks to do justice in the wrong scenario. That's what I wanted to see and, as expected in such professional people often meet more than what they promise in the playbill something that not all can boast playwrights, that's what I finally saw. The dreams of Cohanaco is great entertainment use this word but be hateful to (in) a black palate of our alternative scene (long ago ceased to be independent, what do you think?) virtuous because it has a cast (the tandem Acuña - Carricajo - Cupar - Gobernori - Mac Auliffe - Prociuk - Rittano ) not daunted meet the requirements of registration fantastic actors between sleep and wakefulness, recreating situations very funny confinement, a direction that justified their decision-making every dollar invested in this show I am writing this to reassure those who ensure the correct use of public funds , a drama capable of producing flight gags without neglecting the poetic text, a stage of post also required sanmartiniano full gear, and clothing that promotes the work of characterization of the actors.

The characters are crazy, but not cease to be cherished. Therefore, during the denouement, the work defined as a knot that breaks out and helps you to understand, really, to me I felt a lump in my throat. Is that along the slow blackout lights, we realize also is shutting down the lineage tehuelche virulence because of the English and the Mapuche opportunism, today are only fifty people standing who speak the language of that tribe . To catch the light room, not shouted bravo! because I needed the voice as Cohanaco and I stood up because my legs were shaking as Cohanaco but I swear that my clapping was most strident. He had just been moved by a story that, moments before, he felt out of my orbit ethnocentric interest.
.
Of course, this does not mean it will all of a sudden become a militant of the Indian struggle, but I get a little more sensitized to the abandonment in which people are now originating which could not reach the speech in fire me an activist or a history book full of accurate information or a television report bordering with the melodrama, I got this play almost unwittingly.
