You touch a story that must end somewhere but cannot stop telling itself, a story that is always just beginning.”

It could focus on mindfully increasing quality of life rather than on mindlessly expanding material consumption and the physical capital stock.”

Our shows become this sort of ritual, and our performances become that moment of identity.”
