Farinelli

Carlo Maria Broschi; known as Farinelli, the most famous opera singer in the 1700s. He was a singer that was castrated when he was young in order to preserve his voice. In the video that we saw in class was really amazing how Farinelli reach the high pitches for long time. It was an important video for me because not only showed me how young people were castrated in order to preserve their voice, it also shows the type of stage that were using at that time.   

  

"Cuarto Norte"

In this project of Juan Carlos Delgado, he tries to show the attendants how the human’s brain works.  The first work shows how our brain would be when grow up all healthy and clean, but thru the years with the interaction of the environment; our brain can start to deteriorate, and it can cause some brain issues resulting in something bad. Then, the second work shows the loneliness of people who are in a mental hospital and how cold it can be. Finally, the third work shows the internal peace of people with mental issues with the cure of their illness or with the death.
