FABIÁN

FABIÁN represents the artist, the visionary, the dreamer who cries out a silent scream in an effervescent country or labyrinth where he doesn't feel he belongs because both vulnerability and delicacy are misunderstood as weaknesses and the greatness of his art is accused of being unusual and inappropriate.

I imagine that Fabián often smelled of flowers, like jasmine or roses, something delicate but also dusty, often dressed in his burgundy red velvet robe in his hose like a sort of protection to help him fight his internal demons and the chaos outside that never ended to push him away from his passion to play and finally compose that devastating symphony on the piano.

Interested in escaping to another dimension and in the yearning to be neither man nor woman nor even the invisible ghost that he already was, he lets himself be carried away by the dampness and melancholy that dissolved the walls of his house and his entire country. FABIÁN is a choreographic solo inspired by the novel Fabián y el Caos by Cuban born author Pedro Juan Gutiérrez.
