Wolves in sheep's clothing, Humor and Subversion (30/05/2008)

At a time when everything is governed by the enthusiasm of marketing, is becoming more difficult to find artists who from their position and make mock lesson, with subversive spirit of the personalities and dominant ideas.

Almost completely discredited policy also contributes to this lack.

The humor is in itself subversive and yet emotional.

Through humor, you can find new perspectives, new images, ways, the end of the day, crossing the complex and often absurd barrier right, "The Great Dictator" or "The Life of Bryan" are fine examples of that ability.

In a globalized society, empowered by numbness, drowsiness and apathy, are necessary jesters, comedians intelligent and courageous, able to tell truths, capable of making us laugh and make us wake up from our stupidity.

"You can judge the morals of a political regime, a political institution, a politician, by the degree of danger that accord with being seen through the eyes of a satyr."
