Short Stories and Surrealist Theatrical Works
The Lunfardo Orgy in the Cellar of the Thirteen: Stylistic Variations
This section comprises an extensive series of stories and versions revolving around an orgy in a cellar, with thirteen characters representing different aspects of tango, identity, and existence. Each version alters tone and focus, ranging from the baroque and delirious to the mystical, apocalyptic, post‑apocalyptic, mythological, cosmic‑poetic, metaphysical, nihilistic, circular, silent, and utterly vanished. All of them play with contradiction, repetition, fragmentation, and the negation of meaning, creating a text that challenges traditional narrative and becomes a complex sensory and conceptual experience.
The Grail, the Knight, and the Lady
A fragmented tale presenting a scene in which the Grail, the Knight, and the Lady participate in a rite filled with doubts, silences, and gestures that never reach completion. The narrative explores tension, repetition, and indeterminacy, inviting the reader to partake in an unfinished rite that represents quest and seduction without resolution.
The Sex of Angels versus the Sex of Lucifer and the Demons
A five‑act play addressing the nature of sex from angelic, demonic, and luciferian perspectives, exploring ambiguity, contradiction, and the impossibility of defining it in words. Characters include androgynous angels, Lucifer as an enigmatic figure, demons seeking to forget their sex, and symbolic elements such as a river that does not reflect and a door without a lock. The work emphasises that sex is a question without a definitive answer, a shifting landscape, and an experience beyond language.
The dramatic structure includes characters such as the scribe, the angels, Lucifer, the demons, the river, the statue, and the chorus of shadows, unfolding in symbolic settings that reinforce the metaphysical and poetic nature of the theme.
The acts address the gathering of angels, the arrival of Lucifer, the demonic debate, the nameless night, and the door without a lock, concluding with the idea that sex is a perpetual question, without closure or definition.
Conclusion
The document is a complex and multifaceted literary work that challenges traditional narrative conventions, exploring philosophical, existential, and cultural themes through stories and theatrical pieces that employ ambiguity, repetition, fragmentation, and the negation of meaning. Tango, identity, time, desire, and mystery serve as guiding threads throughout these tales, inviting the reader into a profound literary experience open to multiple interpretations.
