On November 19, 1970 a bomb exploded in my hands. What is the mathematical probability of surviving to tell the tale?" Asks Mr. Juan José Cabezas. In 1973, Pepe Vázquez was rehearsing a ballet of Victor Jara when brought arrested to the Estadio Nacional de Chile. "We were put a gun to our head and made us sing. They didn't know that I was free with music". "I always behaved well, I was the pastor's son, until I realized and I said: I must do something", says the Evangelical Pastor Ruben Arthur.

Let the sun shine in your heart. Live life to the full. Just don't let it show. Change your perspective.Crazy Delight by Manuel Seixas...
Director: Karsten Pruehl.
In a modern metropolis, a young woman is living a safe life, fulfilled with entertainment and music. But when she starts to feel a threat of her pride, she is beginning to notice an alienation in this engineered world. Thus, she is searching for leadership and indeed: she finds integrety in a new kind of church. A new spirit drives her. Her world-view seams to become slightly more fulfilled, her relationships change for the better. But the man who impersonates the new belief, emerges as a coviting hypocrite. Finally she falls back into her technophilia and experiences relief in devotion to reproduced electric music.

Within the Water Lies Death...and Life
We are all made of water, it brings us life. It can also bring death. Every so often, someone dies in the ocean, rivers, lakes…and sometimes, they return. They appear to those who knew them, only for a short time, then disappear again. They do not speak, they observe. No one knows why they return, whether it is to feel, to see, to experience, to live again, or whether they just became a part of the greater living entity, the water itself. All we know is that these events have been occurring for a long time.
