Romance del Baco y la Vaca: teatro poético y bestial

Por Lorena Sánchez

El teatro en verso, con cada vez más exponentes y abordajes en la cartelera porteña, se perpetúa renovado con el Romance del Baco y la Vaca. Estrenada en 2019 con dirección de Daniel Casablanca, continúa con un nuevo equipo dirigida por el mismo actor en tándem con la actriz (y pareja) Mónica Antonópulos.

Desde el comienzo el texto deja explícito su homenaje al Martín Fierro y se va corriendo, humor mediante, hacia el tema que obliga a este gaucho más joven y criado en un establo, a huir de la Ley: una historia de amor zoofílica con la vaca Blanquita, con quien emprende la aventura de una delirante road movie rural desde la pampa hasta el norte argentino.

Caponi le hace honor a la tremenda potencia del texto que el dramaturgo Gonzalo Demaría escribió para él. Con una gran actuación, de arrollador despliegue físico y emocional, cuenta y canta con una vihuela blusera e’ lata de manufactura propia en caja resonadora de dulce de batata.

La puesta se complementa con la sutileza de pocos elementos más en escena, la interesante iluminación que enmarca y potencia la narración, el vestuario y maquillaje como aliados para la composición del personaje y el aprovechamiento integral del espacio.

Vida cruda, hostil, inhóspita tuvo este gaucho tosco, rudo y marginal quien una vez destetado, debió aprender a sobrevivir solo y con recursos mínimos. Creció violento, sucio y malhablado pero también desarrolló la ternura, la picardía y un verso fluido. Así, el protagonista transita su historia entre el vino y la leche, de la repulsión a la ternura haciendo sucederse tanto paisajes, climas y pasiones variopintas ante la imaginación de los espectadores como distancia y cercanía. Un vaivén inteligentemente medido que se recomienda transitar.

La obra, distinguida con los premios Ace y Luisa Vehil a Mejor Actor y sube a escena los jueves y sábados de Octubre a las 20 en la sala Dumont 4040: Santos Dumont 4040, Caba.

Win you over

Synopsis: Prom night. Paige watched you dump your girlfriend and now it’s her time to tell you how she feels about you. But little do you know you have the perfect idea to win her over.

“God! How long are you gonna keep staring at Paige?” Sam hissed. You are just about fed with your girlfriend Sam and her harshness. And her cold hearted ways. It’s clear you’re unhappy with Sam. But you also can’t keep your eyes off of Paige.

And Paige kept glancing at you too. She smiled at you.! And you did the same at her. Paige *HATES* Sam and the way Sam treats you. And all of Paige’s best friends hate Sam too. They all tell Paige you and Paige would make such a cute couple.

You and Paige have been best friends since 9th grade. Late night texting each other talking about how she would cuddle you so freaking hard if she was your girlfriend. And you telling her you’d treat her like a princess and be at her basketball games. You and Paige have felt this way about each other but you both are scared and nervous to tell each other what you and Paige feel about each other.

“Hello? Earth to (Y/n)! Are even listening to me? Or are you gonna make eye love with Paige? Because you two keep staring at each other!!” Sam squalled.

Paige and her best friends heard everything.

“You know what?” You said to Sam. “This is not working out between us! Sam, it’s over”. You said. And you walked away.

“Over?! Over??! Where are you going? Get back here! No one breaks up me! NO ONE!!” Sam yelled. She tried to grab your arm but Paige immediately stood up and walked over.

When Sam saw how tall Paige is she back away. And stomped away and left. “Are you okay?” Paige asked.

“Yeah”. You said. “Thanks for saving me”. You said to her.

“of course”. You kissed Paige on the cheek and she blushed. She hugged you and kissed you on the nose. You and Paige looked at each other deep in the eyes almost about to kiss. (Y/n) I love you. I have since the 9th grade. I’ve fallen so in love with you and I just wann-“ and you cut her off. You kissed her on the lips and Paige kissed you back.

“Hold that thought. I have a song I made about you”. You said. You went on the stage with your band and you said, “Hello everyone! We are the (Y/n) band. And this song is dedicated to the beautiful and kind Paige Bueckers”. You said.

And you began to sing the song a cover of the song American Girl by Tatiana Demaria. As you started to sing and the Chorus a couple of guitarists in your band played the guitar and started to dance.

After the song you walked off the stage and kissed Paige ever so passionately. “Paige Bueckers. I love you with all my heart. I have for years. Will you be my girlfriend?” You asked.

Paige smiled. “Yes!!” She yelled happily.

And Paige Bueckers is your girlfriend. After prom you got a pizza for you and her you watched movies and cuddled with Paige as the big spoon.

Preface

Does degrowth have any relevance to anarchism? Taking an academic and popular public stance against capitalist growth or, more accurately, the degrowing total material and energy throughput of techno-capitalism is extremely relevant to anarchism, green or otherwise. Degrowth, in theory, is a natural companion of anarchism and other anti-capitalist autonomist tendencies, with direct linkages through authors such as Ivan Illich and Jacques Ellul. Yet where is degrowth in practice? Do degrowthers join the riots against police repression or, more relevant and discussed below, the combative ecological struggles to stop capitalist growth? If they stand by watching, is it with condemnation, support or a righteous criticism that the rioters should be making community gardens? These dispositions matter and some positions are easier to take than others.

A phenomenon with a long intellectual history (e.g. Andre Gorz; Cornelius Castoriadis; Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen; Sergio Latouche) that arose from the anti-globalization movement, it has actually remained rather marginal or inconsequential in struggles to defend habitats and maintain autonomous spaces. Meanwhile, degrowth has become a booming academic topic, slowly taking over the halls of universities with an enormous amount of academic articles, books and special issues. In fact, degrowth has now created an important space within universities, yet what is the quality of this space and how is this space experienced by so-called “militants”?

While degrowth intellectuals have made great efforts to connect degrowth with environmental justice movements (Akbulut et al., 2019) and direct action (Treu et al., 2020), ambiguity reigns regarding politics and qualities of direct action. This coincides with an implicit academic conflation of environmental justice with all land and territorial struggles logged into the Environmental Justice Atlas (https://ejatlas.org/), which lumps in armed action with vandalism and arson. The interface of direct action and academic labelling is murky, and maybe rightfully so, yet how does environmental justice speak with or—more concerning—for to all the indigenous, autonomist and anarchist tendencies at war with techno-capitalist progress? Does this labeling preform some type of academic recuperation of political struggle, if so what are the consequences? Does environmental justice and degrowth support and/or profit from environmental conflicts where Indigenous, anarchists and autonomist tendencies are a driving force? These questions deserve further consideration and development within and outside the academy.

The article below attempts to begin this conversation, offering feedback for the degrowth movement to support combative struggles with the space they have created. This short article offers feedback from over a decade of personal experience, but also more immediate observation by working with land defenders in France and Iberia fighting energy infrastructure and wind energy power plants. There is a strong affinity that exists between degrowth and land defenders, yet the academy has a way of excluding disruptive anarchistic and autonomist elements by employing self-referential theory from the narrow lens of the academy, mainstream (or popular) movements and nonprofits. It is my hope the degrowth intellectual and organizers will affirm and work to create greater affinity with anarchist and autonomist land defenders, which—to be clear—some are already doing. Yet the article below identifies some easy ways to further bridge this gap.

Why do degrowth intellectuals publicly neglect combative self-defense against “growth” projects? The connection between degrowth and anti-capitalist, autonomist and (ecological) anarchist movements exists, and it can be strengthened by acknowledging the legitimacy of a diversity of tactics as necessary pathways towards degrowing the techno-capitalist system and protecting habitats form infrastructural invasion.

Degrowth is about reducing total material and energy throughput, which entails rejecting elite accumulation and the ideology of capitalism itself. For some—those acquiescing or clinging to the growth euphemism—degrowth is a provocative term. “Trying to avoid provocation, or trying to be agnostic about growth,” explains Jason Hickel referring to degrowth, “creates a milieu where problematic assumptions remain unidentified and unexamined in favour of polite conversation and agreement.” However, in matters of political struggle, it seems that the same applies to degrowth.

Currently, influential degrowth approaches veer towards polite political conversation, mainstream movement politics and largely ignore the combative struggles putting degrowth into practice closest to home. While ambiguity can create space, we ought to acknowledge—and support to various degrees—the full range of degrowth action. Specifically, the land defenders fighting economic growth and its interconnected infrastructural schemes.

This issue gained increasing relevance for me after designing a course on degrowth and following three months of connecting with people fighting energy infrastructure projects in France, Catalonia and Spain. Combative ecological struggles are important, yet the degrowth community tends towards ignoring or selectively mentioning antagonistic struggles enacting lived practices of degrowth. Struggles embodying “monkey wrenching,” “diversity of tactics” and articulating a “brisantic politics” are quite literally stopping—or attempting to stop—the expansion and/or growth of capitalist infrastructure into forests and ecosystems. Why do degrowth intellectuals publicly neglect these struggles?

The connection between degrowth and anti-capitalist, autonomist and (ecological) anarchist movements, as they converge to defend habitats, can be strengthened. The connection exists, yet remains vague in the popular degrowth literature. Inversely, when asked about “degrowth” in ecological struggles in France, Catalonia and Spain, land defenders see little relevance, associating degrowth with NGO politics, university culture and middle-class environmentalism.

One visible obstruction to this connection is degrowth’s ambiguity regarding “diversity of tactics” and combative direct action. In response, degrowth should embrace the “de” in “degrowth:” Recognizing the legitimacy in destruction or, more accurately, combative self-defense in struggles against “growth” projects and all that entails. This translates into degrowth intellectuals, teachers and organizers acknowledging these struggles vocally—including them into the degrowth lexicon—by recognizing their contributions to combating (capitalist) growth projects and defending habitats.

This short essay, in addition to highlighting this issue, further draws a link with degrowth and four socio-ecological struggles in Europe. Degrowth is vitally important, yet—following Hickel’s approach—the time has come for degrowth to become less polite and unambiguous about the importance of combative socio-ecological movements.
