things I can’t stop thinking about re: conclave
- the individual crosses of the cardinals as a costume choice / characterization
- the focus on women's work within the Vatican
- the name John's significance for the papacy
- turtles as a sign of longevity and persistence (?)
- Agnes finding the broken seal vs Mary Magdalen finding the open tomb
- the place of modernity (ambulance, laser technology, computers, elevators, vapes) within Catholic tradition
- the string soundtrack vs the one sung piece (miserere)
- the actors changing their English monologues to be spoken in their mother tongues instead
