Like Rabbi Nachman of Breslav, who decides to throw his writings into the fire in order to begin telling stories populated by kings, princesses, beggars, demons, sages, madmen. Stories that already contain all the questions—the ones that move people and drive them to search. The more intimate and personal thoughts are, the more they reflect universal and timeless ideas such as birth, love, death. The body – because it is partial and perishable – as a tool of knowledge. (Philosophy without the body is incomplete. Experience is not truly lived.) A play of theatre within the theatre. Listening to memory according to a process of subtraction rather than accumulation, as an approach towards silence. In the narration, the characters appear as instruments and voices. The singers themselves become evocations of traditional opera singers. An intimate reflection on memory. An exercise and discipline in listening.
