Ghoula
Ghoula is a moment of fluid theatre. It touches performance art, poetry, storytelling, soundscapes and music without being labelled as any these practices.
“you have to learn to fail”
said the leaf as it walks.
this time it comes across
pavement
dust of decomposition
tiny beings too tiny to be named
sewage
and a drop of rain
and a drop of rain
to keep the leaf green
to keep the leaf stem alive.
now they walk together
the leaf and the drop of rain.
the wind blows against them
instead of blowing
against the empire.
but they keep walking
the leaf and the drop of rain.
it’s hard to know by now
the destination
and the outcome of this all.
When you left me. Did you?
Shadow of theater. Did we?
