At a
conference in London called "Paranoia, the Pre-Raphaelites, Harpo Marx and
the ghosts" Dali made an unforgettable customary appearance as he used to.
He was holding two Russian Canes
Venatici by the belt with one hand and a pool cue in the other. He was dressed
with an old diver suit wearing above the helmet a mercede’s car radiator.
While
trying to speak he realized that without oxygen supply through the helmet, he
could not breathe. The audience was looking at him without knowing that
something was wrong; they were just thinking
it was part of the performance… Meanwhile Dalí was making an effort to breathe…But
finally, two of his friends realized what was happening and tried desperately
to tear away the helmet (face mask) from his head. Finally, a stagehand came to assist him and
with the help of a wrench they managed to tear his helmet away and release him just
when Dalí was about to asphyxiate.
En una conferencia en Londres llamada “ Paranoia, los
prerrafaelistas, Harpo Marx y los fantasmas”, Dalí hizo una entra inolvidable,
como solía ser costumbre en él. Sostenía dos lebreles rusos por la correa con
una mano y un taco de billar con la otra. Iba vestido con un traje de buzo
antiguo y encima del casco llevaba un radiador de coche de la marca Mercedes.
Al intentar hablar enseguida se dio cuenta de que, sin
suministro de oxígeno en el casco, le era imposible respirar. La audiencia lo
observaba sin sospechar que le pasaba, mientras Dalí hacía un esfuerzo por
respirar, pensando que era parte de la actuación. Pero finalmente, dos de sus
amigos lograron darse cuenta de lo que pasaba y trataron desesperadamente de
arrancarle el casco. Al final llegó un tramoyista y con la ayuda de una llave
inglesa lograron quitarle el casco y liberarlo justo cuando Dalí estaba a punto
de asfixiarse.
