  • ‚NO QUIERO NO QUIERO PERO ĖCHALO EN EL SOMBRERO‘

    The performance illustrates what has been forgotten in Cuban society: the “promises to oneself” not to live according to capitalism. This can be seen, for example, in the Hippocratic oath of the doctors, which is being pushed aside, as they are now getting extra money for treatments.

    A train that symbolically receives a coin from an artist for the rendered services reminds us of history and the loss of values when we turn too much to the power of money. The work “NO QUIERO NO QUIERO PERO ĖCHALO EN El SOMBRERO” raises the question of corruption. In the past, a locomotive signified technology and progress. The future was written in such a machine.

    What happens if the locomotive is left behind in a field? Does the time of history take its course and shows the tired machine an end? Did it fall out of its tracks?
