Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against the gods. In crisis, their souls are visible.

It’s Midsummer’s Night and I am reading Sappho, translated by Anne Carson. 

When it gets darker will need to light a bonfire in the backyard.

Sometimes a journey makes itself necessary.

Anne Carson, “Autobiography of Red”

It is an open secret among pilgrims and other theoriticians of this traveling life that you become addicted to the horizon. There is a momentum of walking, hunger, roads, empty bowl of thoughts that is more luxurious — more civil than any city.

—Anne Carson; Plainwater

bad ideas, good stories.

"Champagne + Uno" follows the ~fictional~ narrative of a young woman attending university in France. Told from her perspective in three acts, the piece details her emotional landscape during and after an affair with her friend's professor. I intend for these introspective vignettes to read like a diary. This piece is inspired by Anne Carson's "The Glass Essay," the instagram captions of Caroline Calloway, and too many trips to Paris.

Thank you Greek gods for making all my wet dreams come true. I’ll write down all my thoughts during the weekend as now the jet lag is real. Thank you Ben, Renée and Anne.

The video is from the last show on 19 May 2019.
