See the moths up there? They use stars to guide them, but they get distracted by the artificial light. It’s too much for them. They get lost in it.

It’s the only way to sort of shock the audience into paying attention again and I think that’s when you manage to smuggle something across.

“All of the actors who trained in it, in the beginning, [we] had the response that some of the audience had. We’re a bunch of actors, we’re not dancers, we’re not even necessarily particularly athletic, some of us, and we’re just showing up in our sweats in a room. We’ve all just met each other and now we’re going to move our body in ways we’ve never moved them before? And we’re going to do it in front of each other? In the beginning, you’re embarrassed, you’re ashamed, you laugh a little to make it feel OK, but by the time we were doing those movements for two or three months on end, something otherworldly starts to happen in your own body and starts to happen between people who are doing them.”

“We imagined that the collective is stronger than the individual. We imagined that there is no hero. We imagined that the trees of San Francisco and a giant pacific octopus had voices we could understand and ought to listen to. We imagined humans as one species among many and not necessarily the wisest or most evolved. We imagined movements that got unlikely people in rooms together, got them moving, got them willing to risk vulnerability for the chance to step into another world.” - Brit Marling

I was pressed down like coal. I suffered. That’s what an angel is. Dust pressed into a diamond by the weight of this world. You crushed me before I had the chance to become anything. You crushed me. But you didn’t destroy me.

I saw something in the Tv. Something I was afraid to admit.

Like you always said: Same play, different cast. Across many dimensions through time.

I want you to remember that we spent seven years under the ground. That we used to piss and shit and drink and bathe from the same stream. That our clothes were like dish rags and we were cold all the time. And the only thing we could touch was glass. But you loved me… | requested by @bitfairytaled
