| In the 1980s, religiousness was
once again rediscovered. This is part of the ideological metabolism of our civilized
species. Mauricio Kagel also discovered it. He wrote a black mass. Scenes stringed
together one after another as in a ballad are toying with superstitious imaginings which
invalidate completely the traditional order serving as a base to our modern intellect.
Devil’s stuff. |
