The Timing of God is Perfect (2026)
El tiempo de Dios es perfecto, in English the Timing of God is Perfect is the working tittle of my upcoming Solo performance.
This research examine the social role of the restaurant´s clown in Colombia, noise music and the concept of supertitions.
We will explore superstitions from a philosophical, theological and artistic perspective, understanding it, as a beliefs or practices that link actions, objects, or events to outcomes without a rational or scientific causal connection or as a structure we create to endure uncertainty, scarcity, and the absence of meaning, and paradoxically, as a tool of political and cultural control.
The restaurant clown is a popular character who offers their colors, jokes, and eccentricity to invite passersby into the restaurant to consume. The restaurant clown functioned as a form of organic advertising.
The research confronts two visions: History has a direction and meaning unfold vs everything is already determined, no space for transcendence.
Superstitions: the Black cat, knocking the wood, do not walk under the ladder, always by the hand of God, the time of God is perfect, capitalism is great, chosen people, Dios mediante, keep working hard… a reward is waiting for you.
Superstitions in performing Art: Mierda, break a leg, toi toi, trust in your art, det blir hva det blir (it will be what it will be), God blessed you, performing in some of this theater houses will bring success and realization, lobbying your art, write your dossier, do not give back… something great is coming
If everything is determined… why do we need superstitions? why do we need to rehearsal or do lobby, maybe it is just about contingency?
If history has meaning… why does it feel so empty or/and repetitive? why do we need to talk about dramaturgy, have ambitions and meanings ?
Who is God? and why this concept is so much in-fashion today in the contemporary political world?
Maybe superstitions enables orientation within a system that ultimately fail to guarantee meaning and certainty … while life passed by(?)
