The way you hold a cello, the way light lands in a Caravaggio, the
way the castrati hit notes like no one else could-a lifetime of
conversations about art and music and history unfolds for Nora
Garcia as she and a crowd of friends and fans send off her recently
deceased ex-husband, Juan. Like any good symphony, there are themes
and repetitions and contrapuntal notes. We pingpong back and forth
between Nora's life with Juan (a renowned pianist and composer, and
just as accomplished a raconteur) and the present day (the
presentness of the past), where she sits among his familiar things,
next to his coffin, breathing in the particular mix of mildew and
lilies that overwhelm this day and her thoughts. In Glantz's hands,
music and art access our most intimate selves, illustrating and
creating our identities, and offering us ways to express love and
loss and bewilderment when words cannot suffice. As Nora says,
"Life is an absurd wound: I think I deserve to be given
condolences."
