abstract:

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
             pink floyd

Do you have a cigarette? and other ways of approaching is the transformation of the theater into a club, a disco dance theater performance that explores the bounders between public and private, between individual and collective, between celebration and ephemeral stupidity.
