The Cabrujas Ignacio Bolivar (I)
In 1991 and especially for the July 24 birthday of Simón Bolívar, playwright, theater man, very critical and given to her through their editorials, José Ignacio Cabrujas wrote a speech on the subject of the bicentenary of the birth of the American hero.
Only someone like him would write!
A very emotional speech Cabrujas adjusted to the Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and published information in workshops Printing National in August 2010. is not the full speech delivered to the playwright on the island of Margarita, specifically in North Santa Ana, but a good part of his speech. The title of the speech is
Bolivar
Blood and youth of the new independence.
Very expressive as was Jose Ignacio Cabrujas, wrote that "I once thought, many years ago that one day I would play to introduce an act like this, it would be in a Venezuelan people to be fulfilled anniversary of the birth or death of Simón Bolívar, and that a generous people take me to these people to talk about this man who made the nation ".
"Once I thought, and that day I took an oath that if ever I had the privilege granted me today and I feel almost like an extension of my birthday was two days ago, if I have the privilege of speaking on Bolivar, I will not say the same nonsense, I will not repeat the same topics, I'm not talking about the same routine for decades and decades have been talking about this man, but I'll try to express how I feel, as a man of history, but as my contemporary, like a friend as a man who lives as a man who is with us. And not necessarily like that statue to the back of you my face, this statue is enshrined in bronze and repeated endlessly on all the peoples of Venezuela. "
criticism of the late José Ignacio Cabrujas has its own weight and value, it is also true that speeches have been said about Simon Bolivar as if the authors had gone to a fair frivolous trivia to arm themselves with platitudes. And reiterates Cabrujas a view that many people in Venezuela and Latin America share.
"Today when we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of this fellow, there will be the Venezuelan people, there will be little plaza Bolívar in Venezuela where someone is not talking right now, a little earlier, a little later, Simon Bolivar. "
not hide it, we do not take glory
and followed this neat intellectual
"Hopefully we do not invade the chatter, hopefully not continue hiding this man we do not take glory to this man we do not take love for this immense character differed in idolatry, in a nonsense that has tried to obscure. Because, in fact, friends, the first thing to me is my mind is that today we are celebrating the birth of a mysterious man, a man whom history has written tons of papers. "
Died in 1995 before he arrived in Venezuela and Latin America, the Bolivarian Revolution, the theater director was highly critical in his speech, he explained in his speech that had cornered Bolivar, for any time of life we escaped.
"It is sometimes said that the Liberator was a man of intense erotic life, a man very dedicated to the conquest of women. I would just say that their writers and historians leave this man alone, even for making love. "
"No sets on their shoulders the responsibility for what we are not ..."
José Ignacio Cabrujas To consider the Liberator and the legend that shields the country and therefore as angry, saying
"We have no right to throw on the shoulders of this man responsibility for what we are not, of what we dare not be. Bolivar man is not appropriate phrases that are cited and recited in times of democracy, in times of dictatorship, that honorable men and quote quote thieves. Bolivar Not the hollowness of words that are constantly quoted and commented on it. "
A man who lived as it was, a young man
Cabrujas The description was then Simón Bolívar, Margarita land, if you will, is the sociological and philosophical felt in the voices of many people in the streets:
"is, first," and I wonder why the first time I talk about it in public is to reason of his birth-a young man. The Bolivar which we have to talk, we have to feel Bolívar is the story of a Venezuelan boy, a young man, both died at the age of 47 years. Very young when he made that business, young man when he tried to change the face of this continent. "
"That young man proceeded and lived as it was, a young man. Babbling man, man of contradictions, a man of mistakes, hit man, a man who lived, a man of blood. That is the man who, somehow, created this country. "
And more, it seems to have shouted at that time Cabrujas:
"That young man, not as is depicted in the pictures, because perhaps some coquetry that had the character, he liked to appear painted ; with Napoleonic military air, that was not Bolívar, the pictures, but a man with a long hair-like mind-Aguirre Liévano Indalecio, a mane down to his back and then lost from 1824, when he began to get a little bald "
This man they called the" Zambo ", who wore long hair and tied it with a ribbon in a kind of ponytail, the man who is not fell from a horse and that was after life, after a project was the man who somehow summoned seen this people to a company, the company freedom to the company to be ... "
continue.
