So you want to make your living in the theater
…
Easier to burn without oil for eight days!
The point of Hanukkah is that God has his ways.
However …
And what kind of miracle are you
looking for, anyway?
No miracle is going to give you back your life:
Days of dreams, days and nights of despair, years and years and years of
hope …
Living at the heart of creation;
Of all the dry movement, flakes of dead talk,
Retakes, rituals, favors for the files,
Rendering one perfect, sparkling scream …
A miracle takes a lot of rehearsal.
In between, one works and wonders, wonders and counts the days.
Nodding from exhaustion, one says yes, yes, yes,
Even this, yes, even this …
