“Tender cries to God….Not form, but the marrow of form…All the arts are capable of duende but where it naturally creates most space is in music, dance and spoken poetry, the living flesh is needed to interpret them…the duende wounds..the magic power of a poem consists of it being filled with Duende.”
— Frederico Gardía Lorca, Theory and Play of the Duende
