L’explicació del significat del mot ‘eleuteromania’: un intens i irresistible desig de llibertat. Així és com comença el vídeo ‘Freedom for Catalonia’ elaborat per un grup d’estudiants de publicitat de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra. La base del muntatge és el poema ‘Roll the dice’, de Charles Bukowski, llegit per Tom O’Bedlam, amb una successió d’imatges suggestives sobre el contingut del poema, aquest desig de llibertat i la determinació que requereix. En són autors Marc Saludes, Ane Santiago, Aina Tro i Júlia Xandri.
Aquest és el vídeo:
I heus ací la transcripció del poema de Bukowski:
if you’re going to try, go all the way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.
