“We tend to relate the words triumph and success with celebrities, people that earn a lot of money and the ones that are apparently good at a certain activity.
A lot of people seek that “success” and get frustrated when they feel that they cannot achieve it. It is sad that they think that way, because the real triumph in life is achieved when you overcome the obstacles that you face. Therefore, there are many more successful people than just those few people.
We are interviewing two artists that have triumphed in life, Paula and Fabiana Chávez, because they have overcome a seemingly insurmountable obstacle preventing them from continuing their passion for music. Patience, perseverance and strong beliefs in their goals have enabled them to play the piano again after losing their sight, and what is more, thoroughly enjoy doing it…”

“Each note corresponds to a light movement of the torso. The register of the notes is in the subtlety of the gesture. Sitting at the keyboard, Fabiana and Paula Chávez are playing Mozart´s Sonata K521 in C Major. The sister´s elbows touch as if marking a limit and also a point of reference. It is an open grand piano but they can barely make it out…”
