THE PLENTY
Memory is what tries to make an ephemeral moment last. Hours of ecstasy are never more than a moment. And to this, the greatest attention is necessary, since the emotions are never seen unless in transition and for a few fleeting moments.
The meaning of things can never be permanently fixed.
SMOKE
The room transforms itself through the connection of the stages: long articulated metal bars are also ashtrays. They structure each space and allow them to move and arrange themselves in different ways, configuring the smoking room. The client smokes, acts, and is.
Perla is about the beauty and passion for destruction. Destruction as a sacrifice for the sake of experience and memory.
ACT 1
"I do not rebel against the universal order. After all. I have lived over seventy years. I had enough to eat. I enjoyed many things–the comradeship of my wife, my children, the sunsets. I watched the plants grow in the springtime. Now and then the grasp of a friendly hand was mine. Once or twice I met a human being who almost understood me. What more can I ask?"
ACT 2
“I never tapped into nightlife, all I knew was dancers, we went to bed early and got up early and went to free concerts at the Lincoln Center and Shakespeare in the Park. Then I met this guy, as one does, and he brought me to a nightclub and I was like, ‘Wow’."
ACT 3
“I had no idea this thing was televised. Boy, is my face red.”
ACT 4
“I am pro-young. I wrote my first script at the age of 22 and directed my first film at 25. So I'm for the young. And when people today say I'm 70, I say that's a confounded lie. I'm twice 35, that's all. Twice 35.”
ACT 5
“I am frightfully sorry to disturb you at this hour, Franklin, but matters of a most vital import have transpired and I felt that I must convey them to you immediately.”
