Miserable (2004)

Creation for a one dancer and two musicians, 2004

"In the land of mankindClothing makes the personIn the land of our ancestorsLaws are now dictatedThe poor are suppressedforced to submit their pridedegraded by the power of the richIn this miserable millenniumdemocracy is ravaged by dictatorship, tyranny, conflicts and warsPeople are suffering from exploitationPeople still believe in heavenPeople still hopeMiserable is this world in which I was bornIn a land where those with no food watch those who eatIn a land where lies are priority and treason a normThe rich act poor and the poor act rich
Miserable, neither will ever be satisfied
Welcome to the IMPERFECT"
