i am lost
written on Friday, March 7th, 2008
i am lost. I feel that i am too self centered at the moment. Already for such a lon time, I am involved in my own things, my own so called creativity, phantasy. It is hard to escape it, being on a trip, of making something here, theaching there etc. Ofcourse this feeling becomes really present when i am lost in making a piece.
Now, here in Leipzig, i am afraid that I am to selfish, to much looking for the thing I like myself, something, whithout even knowing what the children want. And do you give your public what they want. most of the time you try to give them something which can make them think, can disturb them, which perhaps they can love and hate at the same time
What makes children think, the text tries to let the children think about the cycle of life, with a little boy who still must learn a lot, and an old man, who starts to forget everything.
Can I help the actors in finding something which touches the public? Can I find a structure which makes the text crystal clear, funny and deep at the same time.
I must trust. Everyone in tis project starts to inspire me, except myself… hm…
