Visita mis POSTs anteriores sobre el Bicentenario en: "Bienvenido Año del Bicentenario!", "Fiebre Bicentenaria"; "Bicentenario: 12 y 13 de Mayo" y "Bicentenario: 14 de Mayo (Parte 1)". Continúo donde me había quedado... ah, sí... Luego de un día marcado por nubes grises donde el sol no se animaba a aparecer y el clima se confabulaba para ofrecernos lágrimas de bonanza, llegó el festejo principal del Bicentenario. La noche del 14 de Mayo, 200 años atrás, era el hito que marcaba el inicio de nuestra historia como país independiente, y hoy se festejaría con la proyección del "mapping" sobre la fachada del Palacio de López; tal como habíamos vivido algo similar a inicio del año en mi POST "Bienvenido Año del Bicentenario!". | Visit my previous POSTs about the Bicentennial in: "Welcome, Bicentennial's Year!", "Bicentennial Fever"; "Bicentennial: 12/13th of May" and "Bicentennial: 14ht of may (Part 1)". I'll continue where I left the story... oh, yes... After a day marked by gray clouds where the sun did not dare to come and the weather conspired to offer tears of goodness, it came the main celebration of the Bicentennial. On the night of May 14, 200 years ago, was the milestone that marked the beginning of our history as an independent country, and today would feast with the screening of "mapping" on the facade of Palacio de Lopez, as we had experienced something similar at the start of the year in my POST "Welcome, Bicentennial Year!". |
20:22 - A large art show was presaged in a beautiful night, accompanied by a breeze coming from the river and the warmth of the more than 100,000 people were attend in the Parque Litoral, ready to enjoy the Mapping and the Vy'a Guasu of the Bicentennial.
20:30 - With great punctuality, a feature that professes President Fernando Lugo who was present, began the mapping projected onto the facade of the Palacio de López. Thousands of Paraguayans enjoyed 10 minutes of an art form with great emotional and historical charge, as had happened five months ago in the Cabildo. Thousands of phones and cameras, lights amid the shadows of the public.

21:00 - Start of the "Bicentennial Serenade" with the presentation of many distinguished artists. The singers Yberá and Diana Barboza, delighting audiences with guaranias.
The strings of the harp vibrate and resound among the thousands of presents in the Parque Litoral, with the thanks to the hand of Cesar Cataldo.
21:13 - The show does not stop a second and the artists are coming one by one, and leaving everything on stage. From the strings of the harp, we turn to another stringed instrument (percussive), with the melodious strains of the master Oscar Faella.
The Presidential Honor Guard known for his stoicism, maintained distension moments to enjoy good Paraguayan music.
Three-colored lags flutter in the audience, while enjoying the music of our artists.
Don "Neneco" Orrego, leader of the band with more national trend, a group that turned a 75-year career.
23:05 - Thousands of people were added throughout the night in this great celebration, families and friends to enjoy an artistic show never lived the same in the country.
23:55 - Second presentation of the mapping, which thrilled the new audience which arrived, and again to those who saw it first.
23:58 - During the second presentation of the mapping, the Plaza de la Democracia was full of fireworks announcing the arrival of May 15. Paraguay remembers the cry of Freedom! of that morning which occurred 200 years ago.
00:00 - Just finished the mapping, and people enjoy the first fireworks launched from the ships in the bay.
Ten minutes of fireworks exploding in the sky apparently without end, illuminating the Parque Litoral, the Bay and the hearts of over 100,000 souls present who were moved and carried the memory of that unique night.
00:17 - The show has finished, and after the triumphant farewell, the audience is walking away from the Parque Litoral creating a tide of thousands of souls who marched with smiles and lasting memories.
00:50 - This is the day of the Bicentennial and people still do not want to leave even though the artistic numbers have finished. Hundreds and thousands stay at the heart of downtown, located in Palma and Chile, singing the Hymn of Race (Patria Querida) and other national music. The party doesn't want to end.
01:06 - For the fun of the people, a dance group that had acted earlier in the Plaza de la Democracia during the show on the Parque Litoral, breaks the street with an music band and continue the Vy'a Guasu to dance with all the presents. This was a big party that lasted until nearly 2 am.
Increíble y emocionante mapping que cautivó a muchos y otros simplemente se dignaron en criticar. Pero hoy no había lugar para los negativos de siempre, hoy había lugar tan sólo para rescatar esos trazos de viejas heridas que fueron recordadas en la proyección, así como también recordar las viejas épocas de grandes artistas cuya trayectoria y alcance mundial hoy en día se hace muy difícil de igualar, no sólo por la globalización, sino más bien por el pasivo apoyo que se le da a la cultura, no sólo de los gobiernos de turno sino que en muchas ocasiones por la propia sociedad que se encarga de valorizarlo muy escasamente. No siempre es así y no siempre será así, porque se siente que vamos avanzando, vamos creciendo y el futuro nos traerá muchas sorpresas. Paraguay hoy se encuentra con la mirada de los demás puestas en nosotros, y debemos hacer un buen papel. El talento nacional se siente y transita con fluidez en todos estos días de fiesta, y esperemos que así como el río, inunde las costas de la ignorancia y no se estanque con sedimentos de politiquería y ambición personal de quienes son protagonistas en el poder. Desde este momento ya cumplimos 200 años de vida independiente, todo lo que hagamos de ahora en más, que sean grandes acciones y nombres que se proyecten y recuerden en el 2111. | An amazing and exciting mapping that captivated many and to others simply want to criticize. But today there was no room for negative thoughs, just today there was room to rescue those strokes of old wounds that were recalled in the projection, and also remember the old times of great artists whose history was of worldwide reaching, and today is very difficult to achieve, not only because globalization, but rather by the passive support given to the culture, not only by the government in power but in many cases by the society that handles to barely appreciate it. Not always and not always be so, because we can feel that we move forward, we grow and the future will bring many surprises. Paraguay is today through the eyes of others which put on us, and we have to do it well. National talent can be felt, and it travels fluent in all these days, and hopefully as a river, flooding the coasts of ignorance and trying to not pond with sediments of politicking and personal ambition of players who are in power. From this point we already reached 200 years of independence, everything we do from now on, should be great actions and names that will be projected and remember in the 2111. |
