FROM THE AUTHOR
“I arrived to Robert Wilson’s planet by chance. Perhaps as men and women meet great findings in life. I arrived in a state of transparent innocence that only untiring travelers know. Someone who is willing to discover fabulous territories of the mind and the spirit. […] I ended up living in New York and approaching through an academic research one of the genius of contemporary performing and visual arts. I do admire Robert Wilson’s work. And I feel fortunate for being part --even minuscule-- of his creative process. But this book is neither condescending nor laudatory. I’ve tried to avoid the excessive personalization of judgements as blind adulation. […] I made use of Robert Wilson’s work as a bridge to study contemporary arts. Only a few artists as this director from Texas have explored so many ways of expression. Generous and honest way: avant-garde theater, modern opera, contemporary dance, new visual art, audiovisual technology… Always from a multicultural perspective, an experimental drive, and a blend of languages that are inherent to the 20th century art: uncertain, hybrid, global. I hope that the reader who wants to learn about more than one artist can enjoy the journey through the avant-garde around Wilson’s work. […] I still don’t know why there are only a few books in the world about Robert Wilson. (Apart from huge and wonderful titles that look great on fancy coffee tables). Since it’s all about theater of images, what do we need printed words for? At least Picasso had more luck.” —Pedro Valiente
