| Shrnutí: | “Tertulia was a sound-and-image intervention in the Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires that I created in 2005 in collaboration with the visual artist Eduardo Molinari. The V. Festival Internacional de Buenos Aires as part of its new interdisciplinary initiative, Proyecto Cruce, produced it. Tertulia’s original three-day program was suspended by court order when some notable neighbours of the cemetery filed a lawsuit that accused us of disturbing the rest of the dead and changing the historic Truth, and called for the project’s cancellation. After the legal confrontation, (in effect, censorship,) Tertulia was rescheduled for the last two days of the festival. On what would have been its opening night, the intervention was canceled due to a fierce storm that started early in the afternoon and lasted the entire night. Tertulia was finally performed on the night of 24 September 2005, after being assailed by the media and the neighbours of the cemetery. The intervention was sabotaged during its only performance: a series of cables were cut, silencing seven of the forty speakers that were spread throughout the cemetery. Five thousand people came to see Tertulia, but for security reasons only 1 500 were allowed into the cemetery.” |
