08 Jun The Bird
Listen to the accompanying poem of the work by the voice of Sofia Hatzoglou
The bird
… bird-remains …
A little bird left one day from his cage …
A little bird left and took his body …
A little bird left and got his voice …
Why did you leave, little bird, Petros wonders …
What did I give you in return for your beautiful voice?
Wars and disasters, earthquakes, damages and killings, banks, finance, taxes, debts, hangings, hunger and pandemics, scandals with me politicians and fanfarologies …
I only gave you these in this living room, which they came out of the box, which you have in front of you …
This is the answer, Petros thought …
It’s as if there was no music to put on the bird …
Images, many colors and sounds from Manos …
It’s as if my voice was cut off in front of your cage …
Slippers and remote controls I only offered you these bad things …
The bird is gone now …
What can I do now?
One day a bird left its cage …
A little bird left and took his voice …
A little bird left and its shadow remained …
