Danele Sarriugarte Mochales: Letra xehez idaztea<\/b>
\n<\/b>Letra xehez idaztea<\/i> is a search for and experimentation with a new way of writing\/saying. Lower case writing\/saying places writing in a new position, it shifts what is written\/said; it seeks to find a new textual form, to explore and force the limits of what can be written and said setting out from material of my own, examining the plurality of voices that can emerge from there.<\/p>\n
From late February to late March, Danele Sarriugarte developed this line of work at Bulegoa z\/b. On 16 April, at 19h, she will read some of the texts written during her stay, in order to open up the process to the public and to continue to enliven the writing through dialogue.<\/p>\n
Here is a starting point:<\/p>\n
\u201call of a sudden you realize that capital letters\u00a0 \u00a0 ideologies\u00a0 \u00a0 identities\u00a0 \u00a0 that you had thought were equivalents to yourself until then \u00a0 are fragile\u00a0 \u00a0 and you start to do\u00a0 \u00a0 whatever<\/p>\n
many feelings are aroused \u00a0 contradictory \u00a0 with respect to what you had been clinging to \u00a0 adherence is still there \u00a0 but anger is also aroused \u00a0 you can\u2019t bear to see what held your gaze<\/p>\n
and you say: who am i, if i am not what i have been up to now? \u00a0 partner \u00a0 militant \u00a0 mother\u00a0 hetero\u00a0 \u00a0 and you say: what will I do without you?\u00a0 without politics\u00a0 \u00a0 without motherhood \u00a0 without heteronormative privileges \u00a0 without my job<\/p>\n
you\u2019re lost, you seek new certainties\u00a0 \u00a0 with mad zeal \u00a0 don\u2019t forget to breathe because it\u2019s something quasi-automatic<\/p>\n
and you shut your eyes and think:<\/p>\n
it was all a lie, they deceived me. <\/i>you reject the earlier belief and convert to a new one with the same zeal<\/p>\n
or you shut your eyes and think:<\/p>\n
it was all true, this is a test, I can see that clearly, they won\u2019t fool me\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/i>you are too afraid of the abyss and with redoubled passion you once again cling to your previous faith<\/p>\n
but there is a third possibility. there is always a third option a second third option a third third option\u00a0 \u00a0 you shut your eyes, you open them now and again, you try to keep them open as long as possible\u00a0 \u00a0 and you think:<\/p>\n
it was all true, it was all a lie. and now what?<\/p>\n
an other something. something other\u201d<\/p>\n
