a notebook for comments.
Living Room
by Fernando Bopré
The house has a living room. Entry and exit door; centre and passage.
Repercussion box: dinner set turns into sound device.
People scattered in the couches,Diogo de Haro pokes glasses, smooths
dishes, invades bowls. Sound and fury. The living room is an open book
for inscriptions of flat images from an old TV, worn, manifestations
of nothing. The phone rings and on the other end of the line the unexpected
asks: Who is this house? Who does the music? And in the end What happens
there? It's a nuts house, that's why it doesn't have a name or an owner.
It's simply The HOUSE/CASA.
Sala
por Fernando Bopré
A CASA tem sala. Porta de entrada e saída; centro e passagem. Caixa de reverberação: utensílios de jantar reviram-se em aparelho sonoro. Gente se espalha pelo sofá, Diogo de Haro cutuca copos, alisa pratos, invade cumbucas. Som e fúria. Sala é livro aberto para inscrições com TV de outrora de imagens lisas, corridas, manifestações do nada. O telefone toca e o inesperado do outro lado pergunta de quem é esta casa, quem faz música, afinal de contas, o que se passa ali? É casa de maluco, por isso mesmo não tem nome nem dono. É simplesmente, a CASA.
