[-empyre-] cinco de mayo : erroristas

[naxsmash]

hi -empyre-

in honor of Cinco de mayo, here's a link to video by a performance / 
activist artists group, you may already know of-- the 'erroristas'.   
Jennifer has told me some amazing stories about them.  They are among  
our guests this month--maybe lurking on the list now..
The humorous and festive quality of their performances seems  
appropriate for such an important holiday as today, cinco de mayo--  
both very serious and exuberant.

from their manifesto

We are all errorists
errare humanum est
1. Errorism : Concept and action are based on the idea that "error" is  
reality's principle of order.
2. Errorism is a philosophically erroneous position, a ritual of  
negation, a disorganized
organization: failure as perfection, error as appropriate move.
3. The field of action of "Errorism" contains all those practices that  
aim at the LIBERATION of the
human being and language.
4. Confusion and surprise, black humour and absurdity are the favorite  
tools of the errorists.
5. Lapses and failed acts are an errorist delight.
(...extracts from the international errorist's manifesto...)
