In Search of Duende: The Impulse in the Blood
Patricia Llosa, MFA, LP
“Duende,” an untranslatable word from Roma folk culture of Southern Spain, describes a small mythological figure, a powerful and mischievous imp or demon who slips in through cracks. Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca in his famous essay “The Theory and Play of Duende” presents a rhapsodic catalog of Duende, as “soul,” an evocation not of the ghostly but the embodied which he describes as a dynamic, a dark, possessing power that originates in the earth, a buried spirit of black sounds, an intimate of death. The highest possibility for an artist is to be possessed and struggle with the Duende; at that moment comes a smashing and transcendence of form, and the eruption of spontaneous creation. In this presentation Patricia will present her short film exploring Duende and will discuss illuminating points of connection between Lorca’s Duende and her practice as a Jungian analyst.
