pathologic fest day 27-28, "inevitable end"

a miracle is unpredictable. and if it’s man-made, even its architect would not know what to expect from it.

Farkhad always facing away from the audience, or being shadows, or behind a wall, a screen, a curtain. Until he gets killed, and instead of the actor who’s played him the rest of the production, it’s one of the twins. When each twin sees his corpse, they see their other half instead. When the twins and his corpse are on stage together, it’s entirely shrouded. And then, of course, when his spirit haunts them the last act, it’s from under that same burial shroud (though we can hear it’s the original actor again).

His name prior to being killed is also ever changing. The written script would have a blank

[ ]:

But in production it would be either unintelligible (preferred) or a different famous architect each time it’s spoken (it would be up to the director).
