Quien eres Carlo Pedersoli ?


Passeio por mundos sem fim,
são,
passeios em vão. . .
num arco-iris, passeio assim,
e as vezes pelo escuro do fundo do coração
passeio neste solo sagrado
vou de mão em mão
passeio por todo o mundo que este rapaz já conheçeu.
Mas nunca passeio num mundo que é meu.



Quien eres Carlo Pedersoli?
Wer ist Robert Zimmermann?
Quem era Bernardo Soares?


People wear pseudonyms like they do wear masks, in call for a name they believe to suit them better in the occasion than the one´s their parents thought would do.
People wear those masks so close to skin that they vanish in them.
And act like they were supposed to.
But when we loose ourselves in the multiple characters we´ve called to be ourselves so we could fit in, we do not find the ground we used to stand on.
Or the one we´d like to get to.

Even when we´re trying not to
we get up every day with a diferent name
not knowing which one of them all might be ours.
We tend to say it´s all of them.
But we´re not willing to carry all of them at once.
