Emotion is a complex set of chemical and neuronal responses
characterized by a stimulation or disturbance
that predisposes to an organized response.
The immediate result to this response
is a temporary change in the state of the body itself.
The final result is placing the organism
in circumstances suitable for its survival and well-being.
These responses are automatic.
(Stomping and clapping)
Sorry for not knowing the script by heart.
It's not that I haven't prepared the talk,
but I have a bit of dyslexia,
a bit of attention deficit,
and, in fact, it is very difficult for me,
well, it's the cool thing to say, especially if you're an artist, right?
So I find it really difficult to memorize words,
or reading, concentrating.
The only thing I memorize are movements and emotions.
But I would like to read this text from Pascal Quignard for you, that says:
"Music doesn't dwell in the most beautiful instruments.
Neither it dwells in the worst of them.
The most suitable instruments for music are, without a doubt,
those that move but are perishable,
like the bodies that involve mankind."

Purity:
Quality of pure.
That one free and exempt of any mixture of another thing,
not including any condition, exception or restriction of any period
or that is exempt of moral imperfections.
(Heavy breathing)
Well, now that I see myself...
(Heavy breathing)
it could be considered that I'm an impure flamenco dancer,
furthermore, full of moral imperfections,
(Laughter) (Heavy breathing)
That's right.
Could anyone in the room tell me if they are morally perfect,
or if they are pure?
Raise your hand, please.
(Silence)
Just what I was afraid of.
(Tapping)
Take it, take, ah.
The problem for me is that women, for example,
are supposed to shake their hips from side to side, you know?
Wiggling, seducing with movement,
but I don't get it right, to be honest...
(Laughter)
I prefer to move it forwards and backwards,
more like men do, or should do.
(Laughter)
Well, sometimes I just mix it, too.
(Laughter)
(Stomping)
(Laughter)
Flamenco dancer!
"Boquerona!" A native of Málaga.
Boxer, creator, body, woman, impure, passionate, frisky, bland,
annoying when necessary,
shameless, imperfect, incorrect, unstoppable!
(Clapping)
Less gypsy than an olive tree!
(Stomping)
I do not evolve.
I am.
(Applause)
