"Nothing less than a serious minded work akin to high modernism—we have not seen this kind of work in decades.” Mark Daniel Cohen (Hyperion) staging thus spoke zarathustra, AN INTERVIEW with FULYA PEKER RITUAL EXPRESSIONISM, a CONVERSATION WITH FULYA PEKER, brooklyn rail |
"This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!" ZARATHUSTRA, THE AWAKENED ONE, THROUGH WHOM A GOD DANCES, WILL BRING HIS SACRED AND SECRET GIFT TO HUMANITY: AN ETERNAL REQUIEM FOR GOD, WHO SAW WITH EYES THAT SAW EVERYTHING, WHO SAW THE DEPTHS AND THE GROUNDS OF THE HUMAN. WILL MAN BECOME RIPE ENOUGH TO WITNESS HIS WOE IN THE VERY NAKED EYES OF ZARATHUSTRA, AND LAUGH? WILL HE ENDURE THE CONTINUOUS BEWILDERMENT OF OVERCOMING FEAR AND PITY? WILL HE BECOME CHILD ENOUGH TO CREATE BEYOND HIMSELF AND THEREBY PERISH?WHEN THE TIME COMES, WILL WE BE READY TO TAKE OFF OUR SHOES AND FEEL THE EARTH ?
*THIS PLAY WAS PREMIERED IN THE SPRING OF 2007, AT THE KRAINE THEATER, NY. |
