About Universe Melingo, by Rodolfo Palacios

"The end of a song have to call the other, They have to look good end of the beginning of the following. And that gun atmospheric sequence, orchestral, these spectral climates. That it might be applied to all forms of art. The diamond is polished with saliva ".Daniel Melingo
The child who listened to the incessant rhythm of the keys of the typewriter from his father. Or the oral histories of their grandparents took him to imagine places that ended up meeting many years later. The teenager who discovers a vision of the world in the classes of the Conservatory. The young man who comes on stage by the routes and scenarios. The adult who experiences in his laboratory, as if the sound and silence were odors, color and texture had. The orbits of cosmic creativity.

In the week of theUniverse Melingo will happen, even in the imaginary plane, what it seemed impossible: Can you travel through time. And parading all Melingo. These Melingos forming one, overlap or multiply in the past, the present and the future.

As if that child continue spying through the peephole and saw what happened to their ancestors and the same time what happens today and will continue to happen with the man who aligns its planets and uses all its resources. To close the circle. A list: gestures, voices, silly faces, experiences, thoughts, devenires, dreams, beliefs, readings, visions, to create parallel universes. Which comprises, sings, draw, acts, plays all the instruments, writes in his notebooks a log of trip, and all with a destination space: poetry boiling state.

A flash or explosion that ends up all kinds of limit desalambrar. From music, cinema, theater, literature, painting and imagination. In an Olympus where everything is possible.

So says Lovecraft, one of the favorite authors of Melingo: "The sages interpret dreams, and the gods laugh ".

All this will see and hear from Saturday 28 September until Sunday 6 October. At the same time, Universe Melingo: a week of music, poetry and film It will be an opportunity for the viewer to delve into the secret hopes of the creative process, as if they are seen through a telescope the essence of an artist who is on the move. A trip to the moon, or rather to a planet called Melingo. It opens a door. Everyone is invited.
