Ya les habíamos hablado antes del nuevo álbum de The Knife, “Shaking The Habitual” que va a salir a la venta el próximo 8 de abril. También les enseñamos en perturbador video que habían realizado para Full of Fire.
Pues ahora podemos escuchar y ver el video de un segundo tema del disco que se llama “A Tooth For An Eye”. El video es muy bueno, no tanto por su realización si no por su mensaje. En pleno día Internacional de la Mujer el video y su mensaje configuran una reflexión y a la vez una protesta muy interesante.
‘A Tooth For An Eye’ deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership. Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior? In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography. Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy and a sense of freedom; There is no prestige in their performance. The child is powerful, tough and sweet all at once, roaring “I’m telling you stories, trust me”. There is no shame in her girliness, rather she possesses knowledge that the men lost a long time ago.
