Trials To Be — Program Note

TRIALS TO BE

 

The solo piece portrays the challenges and stages we face in our life to pass through & break through from moments of mistrust, betrayal & losing oneself.

The word Be-Trayal here is used linguistically and phonetically as Trials To Be to give birth to the title of this production.

TRIALS TO BE


Español

Yo creía que la confianza se gana, que no se regala.
Ahora sé que cuando se pierde, nunca se recupera.
¿Cómo puedo perdonarme no volver a confiar?

¿Quién debo ser para que confíes en mí?
¿Quién tengo que ser para amarme?

Perdí la esencia de estar contigo.
Quiero gritarde desde lo más profundo de mis pulmones.
El corazón me duele, un dolor irreversible me penetra
y tú estás ahí, observando cómo me desintegro.

Daría cualquier cosa por volver a verte.
Recuerdo cómo disfruté acariciándote.
Confíe, te creí, me perdí, fui engañado.

Ya no creo en la vida.
Y ahora estoy pasando retos,
retos de vida para aprender cómo ser otra vez.


English

I used to know that trust is earned and not given.
I learnt now that trust can be lost and never given back!
How can I forgive myself for not trusting anymore?

Who can I be for you to trust?
Who can I become to love myself?

I lost the essence of being with you!
I want to scream from the deepest parts of my lungs.
My heart aches, irreversible sharp pains penetrating me!
And you are by-standing observing my disintegration.

I would give anything to see you again.
I remember how I enjoyed caressing you.
I had confidence, I trusted you, I lost myself, I was betrayed.

I stopped trusting life.
And now I pass through trials,
trials of life to learn how to be.
