The Cherry Season  

Everyone takes their breath in the last shot after a thousand and one shot, but I was asked to give what's beyond than that limit,

Everyone was my friend, and I was everyone's friend also, and it is customary according to the common saying that everyone's friend is not a friend of anyone, but he is considered the best friend of himself ever in existence!

And then I realized that I am a lot to everyone, I was always the one who gives all the time, I give the real, the original, and the rare things. Due to the fact that I am not a normal being; they just don’t know that I am the son of difference, steadfastness, isolation, and laughter in passing and forgotten times. I will give them an excuse because never made them feel not even close to wonder where I really came from!

I am the son of the four seasons until they were shortened by only two seasons, winter-summer, summer-winter until these two seasons continued to play with me the role of the musical record, whose function continues to rotate and spin and spin until the moment you hear a shooting from a place, or maybe even a timed bomb!

 

I am the son of contradictions, such as night and day, the sun, and moon and between every two and nothing at all.

I am that child who chews his cigarette with peace of mind, relieved of conscience. Oh, my delicious cigarette how smart are you when you carry a taste that is more delicious than the cherry taste?! 

Cherry, who was fed to me by a woman, not on appointment, transparent, no one ever saw her, just the one I was seeing and seeing her details, she was so real that I didn't doubt that her presence was an illusion, she was like a mother and that's what made her exceptional in the depths of my imagination!

Oh Lord, how much longer should I be patient to look for her likeness?

Maybe I will need a lifetime after a lifetime to complete this search journey in order to find the woman of my imagination, in the consolation, I will not let what my imaginations have woven about her to remain a mirage or finding her in some corner on this globe, even if I end up swimming between galaxies, meteors and meteors to collect the remnants of the scenery image I once drawn of her , I will insist to go through this experience without any regrets, or think of what even the  impossible going to look like, not even the impossible..

Not even impossible.

Never impossible.

Or maybe impossible.

 

Here, and the pink dream scene closes, hoping that show has won your attention, admiration and won the satisfaction of those who are never satisfied.

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on sev...

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not ...
