Abstract

A man sits at a cafe table, outdoors. He is dying. And, as he speaks of his loss of powers, the odd things that are happening to his eyesight, his sense of balance, the occasional painful spasm in the sole of one of his feet, his life passes before his eyes in the form of dancers and musicians and small children. And, in the end, we don't notice when he leaves the stage and life goes on without him. 8-9 actors. NOTE: Edmund's text is taken from, or inspired by, Alphonse Daudet's La Doulou, the journals he wrote in the last years of his life, translated by Milton Garver, and the paintings of Toulouse Lautrec. And the composition of the piece as a whole is greatly inspired by the work of Pippo del Bonno.
