since i've been linked to the blog of someone who actually updates her blog kinda cleverly and regularly, now i feel the pressure of writing something intelligent, which i would have written anyway but maybe in 100 months time, so:
a couple of weeks ago i went to see this a m a z i n g performance, in melkweg in a'dam, called "The Autopsy Project", by André Gingras, Korzo Theater.
it was just great! and talking with others there we agreed this is something that, at least, all women's studies people/people who believe to be the updated wave of academic feminism should go and see, to refresh their brain and, for once, really know what art can do!
cannot really describe it. just look at this to have a bare minimum of an idea:
we had some drinks after the performance, in the bar of the theatre, and i finally grasped something i've been feeling other times in similar occasions.. something cool happens in that kind of situations: you feel like you know the people around you, even if it's the first time you see them, 'cos there's something intangible that in that very moment connects you.. you saw the same thing, you were part of the same experience, you partook together to make that performance what it was.. i see it as having done something intimate together, like an orgasm or so.. i mean, wouldn't you feel kinda connected with someone you had an orgasm with? and also kinda grateful, no?
ja, well, that's how i feel sometimes in this situations.. maybe that's just me though.. but maybe not.. i guess it works the same for me also in concerts, or demonstrations, street marches or riots, maybe even in cinemas with good films..
uhm.. just now i realised that maybe i wrote a paper, ages ago, about something similar happening in concerts.. uhm.. bohf! i find it cool though!

kinda clever? come on girl, give me some credit, praise my ultra intelligence please. And yes, orgasms are a bit more personal than dinners... but maybe? Maybe teenage orgasms are the most special, the new ones, the fresh ones, the first ones.
