SONG (Fragment)
“What day are we?
We are every day
My friend
We’re the whole of life…”
“Commissions suit me. They set limits. Jean Marais dared me to write play in which he would not speak in the first act, would weep for joy in the second and in the last would fall backward down a flight of stairs.”
Jean Cocteau
