The Script

WHY?
Text by ensemble. Performed by Constance, a continuation of the previous text. Slowly everybody except Omar left the rope. When Constance finished speaking, Omar handed her the support rope and she lowered herself to the ground.)

Why?
Why do we hold back the truth?
Why do we try to help but they don’t want it?
Why do governments ignore the prophecy of ancestors?
Why are there fewer youth in this city than dogs?
Why do people with accents win less money on game shows?
Why is it so hard to catch up?
What can I do to set my place in the future?

How does skin know how to heal itself?
What makes people faint at the sight of blood?
Are you breathing?

Do you know the names of your neighbors?
What is beyond the universe?
Why do people have a problem with simply loving who you fall in love with?
Why do I wanna be a lawyer?
Where does love come from?

Why does Nestor always want to climb the rope so much?
What the hell is this show going to look like?
Where am I going?

How many times have you cried?
Are you thirsty?
Do you have a tattoo?

Do I belong here?
Will I disappoint you?
How long would it be until you dropped me?
How many people are watching us??
Have you identified me?
