The Hero’s Journey of Christopher Jordi Lara

What is the best thing that I love about my work? Inundate minds and hearts with my music, make the people vibrate drawing lines with my body, to have the terrible and divine power to make cry or smile with a word, a gesture.

What is my idea of perfect happiness? Love and be loved.

What is my greatest fear? Night, solitude, serious illness … I have many fears, although they are a delicious food for artistic creation.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? Being too sensitive, everything hurts more than usual. It’s like living each day behind a magnifying glass.

What is my greatest extravagance? I am not extravagant, I’m classic.

On what occasion would I lie? If lying it could save the life of whom I love.

What is the influence of role models, in my work and in my life? Any.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? The low value and recognition that sometimes comes from a public accustomed to great technology and not great emotions.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? When I go to a theatre, I have a little rest in the scene and look up, toward the lights off, without anybody in the hall. Then I sit with a sensation of fullness.

If I could, what would I change about myself? I have the ability to really say what I think, sometimes I’d be a perfect hypocrite.

What is my greatest achievement in work? Conducting an orchestra at age 16. (Youtube link: https://youtu.be/dVZ2fZh7at4)

What is my most inspirational location, in my city? The Barri Gòtic in the night, no noise, no people.

What is my favourite place to eat and drink, in my city? The Raval, the neighborhood where I live.

Who is my greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? My pair.

Whom would I like to work with in the future? With any other artist of another discipline looking for elements of dialog and union between our languages.

What project, in the nearby future, am I looking forward to work on? I need to return to dance and choreograph. To overcome the injury of my foot.
