“We walked without looking for each other but knowing we were walking to find each other” Julio Cortazar
Play is the beginning of all transgressive action and the detonator of the creative act. Play, which is born without the pressure of obtaining results, is freed from the productive seriousness to which we subject any gesture aimed at performance. By playing, we establish transforming mechanisms that question the established order and set in motion a random combination of movements where action and thought exchange roles. Thought determines action, and action determines thought, triggering changes that alter the perception of the environment and of ourselves. Play gives rise to a transformative reality that invokes chance, discovery and surprise.
Referring to “play” with the gravity with which children refer to it, Julio Cortazar argued that every creative process worthy of the name is a game. Cortazar took the game to its ultimate consequences; he played with literature, with genres, with forms and with language itself.
