The Golden Ticket was not developed, or created, it was born. Born from those who embody the spirit of life and love. The Amicorum Family has enjoyed entertaining children of all ages with talents from all over the world, and has enjoyed the life and wonder it brings. The Amicorum Spectaculum had its heart, its love, in the most stupendous spectators you can imagine, and it’s mind, it’s soul in the most exciting entertainers ever seen, but it was still missing its body, its spirit…..this is that story
Young in life, a boy lived in a world of darkness, and silence, for his sight and hearing were not like those of the other children. This small difference excluded him from many things in his life, for he could barely see the light, and nearly could not hear any of the wonders that existed in the world. The Amicorum family had heard of this young boy and with great excitement wanted to bring the spectacular to the boy but none more than Ernesto. The Amicorum gathered once again and welcomed everyone the boy knew to this momentous occasion….little did they know how momentous.
The town clamored with joy as the Family started to arrive for they had only heard tales of the spectacle and its magic that in brings to the hearts of all who experience it. They stood in Wonder as they watched them arrive with such fantastic beings and creatures from all over the world. Such as Triboulet, Grandson of Giacomo the “king of jesters and jester of kings” Ekaterina, one of the best dancers of her time. She was thrilled to participate and demonstrate her unique combination of technique and artistry. Raya, who by combining her skills in fortune telling and routines she picked up from faraway cultures, made her method of fortune telling closer to the practice of magic. Ernesto, who as a teenager and student at the Academy of Arts in Firenze, got caught a fire that left him permanently blind. As a result of his disability, he developed a unique sense of hearing and way to experience and create music.
With the stage set and the performers in place, the spectacle was set to begin. As the crowd filled the theater you could see the wonder and amazement over the people’s faces as Ekaterina fascinated the spectators with her gorgeous dancing. The boy, however, was not able to see her techniques and elegant movements, but could only feel the vibrations from the applause. Triboulet who has been counting the days until he can show the world his magic was supremely excited and was able to make the crowd erupt in laughter as the spectators found their seats, but the boy could only feel the applause once again.
“Listen for the colors, let them show you the light.”
With great excitement the boy’s ears perked up, as those words rang clearer in the boy’s head than any sound he had ever heard before, Confused the boy pondered what he had heard. “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Amicorum Spectaculum!” and with glee, he could not wait to hear more, however as the show continued the boy realized that he could only feel the applause once again. Confused and sad, a lone tear rolled down his cheek.
Ernesto could sense it and reached for his instrument and began to play. He played with such finesse and passion, his fingers dancing across the notes. The melody began to ring through the theater, and the rest of the Amicorum Family joined in with his performance. As each member joined in the notes rang louder, the boy then remembered what he had heard, and tried to listen, and hear the colors of Ernesto. The first sound came through, it illuminated the boy with such a warm feeling, “yellow” he whispered, another sound, this one left him calm and relaxed, he proclaimed ”BLUE!”, then “GREEN! ORANGE! PURPLE!” The colors were now streaming at him in a glorious array, he could see the colors shape the room, the crowd, the elephants, the instruments and he could even see the song feel the message. The message that we are all welcome, that even when you can’t experience everything in the world, everything in the world can experience you.
The boy’s face lit up with excitement and his loud voice could be heard by everyone, the colors started to cover the walls, the floor, the ceiling, even the air had become alive with color. The spectacle continued for hours into the night as the magic had taken hold of the whole town. The boy was astonished by the wonder that beheld him, and as he stood there he could see the colors approach him. They swirled around him in a whirlwind, and he could hear the same voice from before “You are welcome!’ to which the boy replied “Thank you” and at that moment all of the colors rushed outside. Confused, the boy hastily ran outside.
When he got outside he could not make out any of the colors or sounds again and became distraught, Raya, seeing the boy run, followed him out of the room, only to find the boy on his knees sobbing. She moved toward him and noticed a small light in the distance, and as she focused she could see the colors, collecting at the source of the light. She had seen this before in her crystal ball, she knew what this was. She kneeled down to the boy and took his hand and guided him with her. As they moved closer to the light, the boy could start to see the colors again and he could hear the notes ringing through. He started to dash towing Raya behind him. Once through the edge of the woods nearby, they could see the colors streaming through the trees and lighting up the path. They moved quicker and quicker as the sound got louder and the colors got brighter.
As they approached, they were greeted by a gleaming burst of light which only left a residue behind which etched the sky with the words “Theater of Unity” The colors danced around the sky behind them, silhouetting the shapes of wagons and tents, and stages were then formed and areas to enjoy food and elixirs seen around the world. Raya and the Boy stood in wonder watching as the magical place was created in light and color, and soon more of The Amicorum Family joined them at the site only to be immersed in amazement. They could see the words that were formed start to pulsate with many colors and the longer they watched the faster it pulsated, then a bright flash appeared momentarily blinding everyone near it.
The boy opened his eyes, afraid he would not see again, only to behold a wonderfully detailed new theater, then the voice appeared again, “Share this with the world” and then from the source of the light a small golden sheet appeared then floated to the ground, and he heard again “I’ll share your world with the rest of world” He looked at what had fallen to the ground,
On the front it had the words “Golden Ticket” and on the back
“This Theater of Unity is because of You, a being of immense possibilities and fantastic creativity. You, a being which can enrich the lives of all who you come in contact with. You, a being of tremendous mind, body, and spirit, The spirit of the Amicorum Spectaculum. You are the first of those who have been welcomed for who you are.”
