2つありますが
rising up against gravity
自分の体の重みと
あわいの一瞬です
もう地面に降りることはないのではと
on the soccer pitch.
ゴールを決めた後の瞬間です
to revive the dead,
at a contemporary arts center,
キュレーターですが
that doesn't bleed or sweat or cry.
信頼していません
are going to live in a time
最も価値のあるものは
are fresh water and empathy.
思い描いています
and majestic sculpture
美しいダンスや
好きですが
心を浮き立たせて
to turn that inspiration
理解と行動に移すための
who loves sports.
舞台制作者です
my latest piece /peh-LO-tah/
『/peh-LO-tah/(ペロタ)』では
was a means for my own immigrant family
移民であった私の家族にとって
and normality and community
普通であることやコミュニティに属する感覚を
and assault on immigrant identity,
移民への攻撃が高まっている今
as an affirmational tool
移民の子どもたちにとって
and immigrant kids,
考えたいと思い
movement patterns on the field
社会的・政治的国境を越えて
across social and political borders.
考えるよう促しました
なかろうと
play on endangered ground.
危うい立場に置かれています
that they use to plan the next goal
使うのと同じ筋肉で
to navigate the next block.
できるのだということです
身体の内に在るものです
and even divisively,
抽象的かつ対立的に語ります
"build this wall,"
「ここに壁を作ろう」とか
嫌われている」などです
that are beautifully designed
強制送還したりするためには
持っていますが
いいでしょうか?
back to something that exists inside
体の内側にあるものとして
part soccer tournament,
サッカーのトーナメントでもあるもので
実施しました
field of inquiry
問いかけに通じるもので
political action for young people.
若者のための政治行動を起こすものです
"Moving and Passing."
「ムービング・アンド・パッシング」です
site-specific performance
サイトスペシフィック・パフォーマンス
交錯させたもので
for the urgent question
市民権を手にするという
サッカーを用いました
a 15-year-old kid from Honduras
15歳の子どもで
想像してください
to two Nigerian immigrants.
13歳の娘でもいいでしょう
dribbling through cones
ドリブルする練習を
a marching band comes down the field.
フィールドにやって来ます
with the exuberance of culture,
文化の豊かさと結びつけることで
would explain Black Lives Matter,
「黒人の命も大切」を表すかを考えたり
would explain gun control,
銃規制を表すかを考えたり
is the perfect metaphor
アメリカの例外論の限界を表すための
考察すると同時に
想像することもしました
that we can all agree to do together.
同意できる唯一のものなのです
of this spinning ball.
地球というボールにおける公式スポーツなのです
to connect the joy of the game
サッカー選手と結びつけ
in sight of a better position.
移動した移民と繋げられるようにしたいのです
to connect their families' histories
家族の歴史を
結びつけたい―
after the ball beats the goalie,
自由に限りなく近づいた気持ちを
