Lady

War

The dance performance ‘microcosm’ (a danced conversation) premiered this afternoon (a matinee) in theater Bellevue in Amsterdam.
Just before the storm and maybe before the war.
Afterwards, at the party, a lady engaged me in a conversation, she happened to be a performer herself, but she became something else, I could not figure out what exactly, she asked me: ‘How do you dare to dance in your underwear?’ I answered honestly: ‘It was nothing.’ And if the choreographer had said, ‘we go for the full Monty,’ I would have done that as well.
Dancing is also obedience.
