Program Note
“…The flawed confusion of human beings…worn away as by the labor of hands, impregnated with sweat and smoke, smelling of lilies and of urine, splashed by the labor of what we do, legally or illegally…as impure as old clothes, as a body, with its food stains and its shame, with wrinkles, observations, dreams, wakefulness, prophecies, declarations of love and hate, stupidities, shocks, idylls, political beliefs, negations, doubts, affirmations…”
— Pablo Neruda
