THE BEGINNING: PROLOGUE

burning a paper plate - towards a new art arderea unei farfurii de carton - către o nouă artă bír káát tabaknîñ ğakmasî - ğañî bír sanatka dogrî

A play of five acts, with prologue, epilogue, that’s a poem, that’s this, that asks “is the burning of the paper plate, tragedy or farce?” The former perhaps, matter destroyed, order finally restored, but only just, control at last. The playwrights, poets, artists, take risks, but is that it? If so, then there’s the rub, the farce of it. They take risks, with matter that doesn’t really matter, or does it? They play, where others die. Why? Find out in act one.
