Lucky
I point the butter gently in the bread and put the honey on top. I've read for the second time the mysterious e-mail we've received today, the members of the theater company, while I've turned around to coffee.
It goes like this.
“Lucky you, dressed in purple! Congratulations to Basque creative feminists, from now on you will not only work around March, sir! We have prepared a great surprise for you: from now on you will also have the month of November marked in red on the calendar or rather in purple... You have read well, NOVEMBER. Prepare your calendars for TWO months a year. We are aware that around eight March you had a lot of work accumulation, so for your well-being, from now on, the international day against violence against women, we added one more month to your working days. Prepare for what comes in these two months and long live the feminist struggle!”
When I'm going to read the message for the third time to know who the joke's ideologist is, I realized that we've received ten new emails. “This is not normal.” The coffee I've made another gargoyle and the roast, I've read the messages.
Almost all are equal:
“Hello, we see that your performance is the right one to do so in November. (Proposal for a date), would you have the free agenda that day?”
I have looked at the dates proposed: 19, 24, 26 and 27 November, all of them.
All of our answers are the same:
“Hi, thank you for your interest in our work. These days have been completed, but the month of October would be available and the month of December too. From January we will continue with the representation…”
Your answer:
“What a pity, we would like to join with the issue of women…. Maybe March?"
I've bitten on toast as I think about what the "women's themes" are. Be careful that Amancay tries to have a diplomat, these are the ones who give you work.
Our answer:
“Jo, March we also have a stop, but also February, April and May free…”
They:
“What a pity…. It will be in another.”
While I think the joke is too elaborate and must be true, I have re-read the first message we received in the morning.
I wrote the answer:
“Hi, I don’t know who or who you are who wrote this message, even if I can imagine it. Limiting the work of creative women to two months a year is violence. Placing what we tell under the slogan “your feminist history” is violence. To think that our stories are not universal is violence. To think that our creations do not take place outside March or November is violence. Our job, to reduce to those limited dates because we are women, is violence. Feminist struggle is not a fashion, long live feminist struggle.”
I hope the answer, I've finished the coffee. I checked if the answer came after eating. I went to teach and turned around I looked at the e-mail, I did not answer. Before going to bed I looked at the computer for the last time. There's a message.
It goes like this.
“Hi, we’ve known your work and we think it’s right for you to do 25 November around the day against violence against women. Would you ever have a November free day?”

The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.
