Light in the dark
- Dark matter is what's called most of the universe, which you can't see. In fact, it doesn't appear in the electromagnetic spectrum. But there it is. And even if you don't see it, you can detect it. The same is true of people. Many leave. And others take us away. It escapes from our hands, by our side. They become dark matter. And we can't see them, they don't appear before us. However, we perceive them and feel them.
Two months have passed since the assassination of algortarra actor Koldo Losada. And a month since we filled with lamps the Victoria Eugenia Theatre of Donostia and illuminated the darkness of his death. I remember on the wall behind the stage there was a huge photograph of Koldo hanging. That was where he felt happier. In addition, several hundred lamps were scattered among the crowd. Purple, pink, blue, white … lights of all colors. In a corner, a piano and, of course, a pianist.
In total, about 300 people fill the theater. These include several well-known faces: Gorka Otxoa, Alvaro de Luna, Mario Pardo, Sara Cozar, Asier Ormaza, Mikel Laskurain and Tina Sainz, among others, will rise to the stage for the draw. People got on the stage. Dorleta Urretabizkaia recalled the trips made with Koldo, some funny anecdotes of Javier Merino. Other experiences of César Novalgos and Iñake Irastorza. And his eyes were filled with tears with the moving words of Garbi Losada. Others, on the other hand, expressed their message through music; nephews in verse, Iñaki Salvador in piano, Ane Gabarain in singing, and so many others.
Finally, we got up and started clapping at Koldo's photo. There were hugs, kisses, tears and laughter among them. As the backdrop of the stage opened and closed, the applause seemed stronger and louder and louder. As if we would never stop applauding. Or maybe we don't want to say goodbye to each other.
We closed the curtain for the last time and climbed to the top of the theater to eat and drink something in honor of Koldo. And there will be those who, in my own way, turned their eyes back and imagined that I was there. What we're looking for involuntarily among people. And we didn't see it, because you can't see it. But as with dark matter, we detect it. We guessed it and felt it. Because even if we don't see it, because there was, and there will be.
