Friday evening in the Plaza Sotomayor. Full moon. Wind stirred. Thousands of locals exploding in the stands. The police ordered traffic. The company reviewed security credentials. From Tuesday, the locals had observed with surprise the luxurious assembly stage with his back to the former Regional Municipality, with two screens 6 by 4 meters and a 7-story giant crane. Now the time has come. Our authorities arrive by trolley from the Congress. In addition, the directive Forum Foundation. Sitting on the floor, a sea of \u200b\u200breporters. Behind the scenes, expect more than twenty-five musicians and actors, along with Artistic Director Constancio Aliki. The two sides, stretched the thirty dancers and acrobats, the other actors, the troupe, singers. Are the stagehands. The lighting designers and sound engineers hone their knobs. Only
missing dog.
came the dog. Just when the first dancers came on stage, when the singer Lorna Guzman made his triumphal entry with Pablo Neruda's prose referring to Neptune, flanked on his throne of sea and wind, a dog appeared in the first row of the Plaza Sotomayor.
4 years ago when it ruled that the Jewel of the Pacific happen to Barcelona and Monterrey to host the Universal Forum of Cultures, uncorked the champagne at the Palace of La Moneda. In Valparaiso, said: Chile ride a real "Olympics of the arts." The Port would receive the world with new cultural venues, such as the turntable and the Cultural Center of the former prison. For the opening, there was talk of a parade of presidents and prime ministers, all gathered to witness a spectacle of world export Chilean artists like Beto Cuevas, Veronica Villarroel, and Cristina Gallardo Domas.
already know the story: the Coalition lost the mayoralty and washed his hands of the Forum. The new president pledged his support, but the earthquake ... Same
contributions were small: the Subdere and FNDR. In total, the budget of the third Forum would be approximately 1.5% of the former and less than 2.5% in the second. Chile, again, had left Valparaiso alone. But do not say this to the mayor. Do not say that the hundreds of locals artists who left his soul in the Plaza Sotomayor on Friday night.
We return the dog. When he came I felt a slight panic among the audience. But my wife and I had a smile from ear to ear. "Valparaiso is present," he said. Moreover, Where were the highest authorities of the country? The president had delayed his trip to Europe by the miners. Forgive him. But the ministers? And the four parliamentarians to Valparaiso? Pancho was Chahuán. Grande Chahuán. What about the others? For 45 days
Valparaiso receive the world. And it will do alone. Whatever. We will stick together and will provide a worthy spectacle. Viva Valparaiso. And the critics?
I'll take the dog.
