                        8’, 2001 In
                          primitive times, life and its mysteries were revealed
                          to the young ones by magical means. The shaman, the
                        sorcerer, the healer, the storyteller, the magician would
                        meticulously
                          plan a farce, a play based on symbols that reproduced
                          the
                          origins of the soul. He would not teach the pupil,
                        he would make him experience fear, love, thirst, hunger,
                          pain, violence
                          and death in order for him to understand life, or to
                          find a way to live it and love it. I long for such
                        an
                          experience.                       Nicolas Serrano
