The play VÄLUTE is an imaginary place, a frontier, invisible territory. Everything is possible in it. The dream is confused with reality.
The man is a woman, who is a man again, who is an animal, who is nothing. At shadows move without owner, without light. The memory is diffuse in brief fragments of lucidity, soon dissipate. A return to Eden. Maybe this is the place of death. Maybe it's VÄLUTE. The return to this text (Mourning, 2012), first arises from the will to rewrite it cenically by finding a more mature and creative universe. We associate mourning with death. I prefer to associate it with survival, even if they are lost in memories, dreams and circular thoughts, or in clichés theatrical Inevitably I look at Hamlet and his ghosts, but I drift away because I can, because my commitment is not with him, for now. I'd rather play with words and find the feminine of your mourning: Fight! Because it is fertile, it has desire, it has life! Who am I tomorrow? So many possibilities ... How to continue this, after this? (whatever that may be ...)
Rui Neto
He is king, the man of Mourning. (...) King, but no real kingdom. Like Bérenger de Ionesco, so human and so absurd, but this one besides having no country has no parents. No children. Neither lovers. Neither affected.
Deeply alone. And when I say it deeply, I really mean it. It's no longer about a poetic flourish. De profundis.
