To exist is to survive unfair choices.

See the moths up there? They use stars to guide them, but they get distracted by the artificial light. It’s too much for them. They get lost in it.

“All of the actors who trained in it, in the beginning, [we] had the response that some of the audience had. We’re a bunch of actors, we’re not dancers, we’re not even necessarily particularly athletic, some of us, and we’re just showing up in our sweats in a room. We’ve all just met each other and now we’re going to move our body in ways we’ve never moved them before? And we’re going to do it in front of each other? In the beginning, you’re embarrassed, you’re ashamed, you laugh a little to make it feel OK, but by the time we were doing those movements for two or three months on end, something otherworldly starts to happen in your own body and starts to happen between people who are doing them.”

No tree survives alone in the forest.

I saw something in the Tv. Something I was afraid to admit.
