The Beast (False Diplomacy and Forced Migrations):

This is an excerpt of two different works: the Political Violence Mapping scene called “The Beast” and a new-opera called “Cabaret UN” that argues against the official messages of United Nations Organization heads which represent the apparent good and the tangible evil.

In both cases the main voice is a non-masculine voice, meaning women, children and LGTBIQ+. In this case you will be able to listen only to instrumental music. This version does not contain any voices or electronics so I am leaving for you this mood setter:

“Female migration has been a constant in migratory flows in recent decades, but the absence of a gender perspective in research on this phenomenon has made invisible the motivations and differentiated experiences of migrant women compared to men. […] Half of the people who emigrate to the United States are women. In relative terms, this is a practically constant figure in recent decades but invisible in an imaginary that associates migration with a predominantly male phenomenon. […] Although men and women may share motivations for migrating, such as the economic aspect, security or natural disasters, fleeing situations of violence is also given as a conditioning factor for them, due to the fact of being women, even more so if they trafficking in transsexual women. […] since the Southern Border Plan was launched, illegal migrants run the risk of being discovered and transferred to a migration station where 99 percent of the people detained are deported. Back in the country of origin, s/he begins planning a new trip in the hope that it will be the last. It is then that circular migration begins and, with each attempt, frustrated or not, the possibility of seeing their human rights violated […]”

This piece intends to deal with two topics: on the one hand, the forced migrations suffered by citizens of underdeveloped countries and, on the other, the false diplomacy of those powerful countries who, through the UN, condemn the events that generate forced migrations. However, these UN head countries (and/or their economic allies) are generally responsible for crises in poor countries; being in turn those who raise, electrify and sharpen these walls to stop the migratory flows that are directed towards their countries. The European Union in 2018 had 15 anti-immigrant walls without counting the Mediterranean Sea.

This piece, with its repetitive rhythm, its constant accelerandi and repeated curves from low to high, intends to draw a rhythmic and psychological analogy with the train of death (known as "The Beast"), which runs through Central America whose final destination is northern Mexico. This train goes loaded with migrants fleeing their countries with the intention of reaching the United States of North America. The pizzicato Bartok sections can be linked (or not) with gunshots, and the long notes sections with that uncertainty linked to -fate, destination, life, death, etc.-.
