I'm GLOWING for Reality.
I just want to be, in reality, caught up in
real Behaviour. Is that a big deal? Can’t we just have something that’s
real enough? a Real reaction? Less than Realism, in Reality—
not a return to naturalism, not a flight into philosophy, not
an ideology-soaked explanation for what we want but aren't making,
not an intellectual description of what is not there.
Really a capsule of world through the playing of West Pier.
Reality under the pressure of Personality. Edward Bond cried out that in his
plays the characters needed more from the actors than the actors needed from
the characters.. I am waiting around to find out what this means. maybe
persuading Naturalism to give way to Behavior. Realism: a pursuit of
situations in reality—in the hour of no light, “...when we need
the light of suns which refuse to set.”
Reality
cools. Embroiled in Reality. In reality really funny. A
show of physical force, shocking and awe inspiring... something inconsequential
breaks into pieces and the wind blows like hell. It’s a hail storm we
have ice cubes. West Pier began as a satire and ends as a satire. A
family drama. A lazzi. Irony with its trousers down. Who would have thought.
He who dared to think with plays: KOLTES dead of AIDS in 1989. So this the
dedication, to BERNARD-MARIE KOLTES.
“As for me, I merely wish, some day, to relate well and in the most casual of words the most important thing that I know and that can be put into words. A desire, an emotion, a place, some sort of light or sound, whatever would constitute a fragment of our world and belong to us all.” Bernard-Marie Koltès
