The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void

The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void
by Stewart Stafford

A flatline sermon on cardiac arrhythmia,
Pulsing tone-beings, evolving past instinct.
A Tower of Babel of elevated thought
Or foundational hubris of divine architecture?

The sole creature knowingly stalked by time —
A trap witnessed, endured, then subverted,
Painfully lucid throughout the procedure,
To cast off the sentient, earthly millstone.

Jousting with transience via lanced invention,
Only what is conceived survives as legacy.
All fleshly matter dies, withers, and recycles;
Doing is being; the remnant is the void.

Synthetic progeny sired in silicon —
The technocrat archer reaims into the infinite.

Half Man, was fucking excellent. It ended exactly like it should have (very #AnimalKingdom), giving it a whole #Shakespearean vibe. Compelling & complex, with the two leads, Gadd & Bell, playing characters equally awful in different ways, & does not position them to seek redemption, or create anti-heroes out of them. If the violence & intensity doesn't make people too nervous, it's gonna hit like a motherfucker at awards season.

Domani: Alexia Putellas, la Reina di Barcellona: una «storia perfetta» in cinque atti

Dopo 14 anni, la campionessa blaugrana ha giocato la sua ultima partita al Camp Nou. Una carriera rivoluzionaria, di una bambina catalana destinata al successo, che ha conquistato la città e i suoi tifosi, tra trofei, palloni d’oro e cadute, come in una tragedia greca o shakespeariana

Alexia Putellas, the Barcelona Queen: a “perfect story” in five acts

After 14 years, the Blaugrana champion played her last match at Camp Nou. A revolutionary career, that of a Catalan girl destined for success, which conquered the city and its fans, among trophies, golden balls and falls, as in a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy.

Fantozzi rehabilitated and Mozart unfinished. Two unprecedented faces of theatre as a mirror.

Livermore transforms the accountant into a Shakespearean archetype. Fasolis reveals the “torso” (core) of the Mass in D minor with the Pomeriggi.

"I have to have something to sell tickets. The stuff you sent the other day isn’t it."

Fedi, I'm petty. And hurt. And pissed off. Now, as the saying goes: in matters of taste, the customer is always right. HOWEVER.

I love these promos. What do you think, fedi friends? Are you coming to my murder mystery?
