22691 - Shadow IX
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi
Darkness is filled with shadows or rather the shadows make up the darkness.
Lucy
In the beginning I thought we were alone…
Dominique
And we‘re not?
Lucy
Do you see this black?
Dominique
What else is there for me to see?
Lucy
You are looking at it but you cannot see that they are shadows…
Dominique
Do you mean that these are the black?
Lucy
And as long as we don’t do anything it expands…
Dominique
I hadn’t thought that inaction helps them…
Lucy
Because you didn’t know about the past.
Dominique
Now I don’t know about the future.
Lucy
We will have to resist…
Dominique
Yes of course with the light?
Lucy
No! You said the word.
Dominique
It can’t be done otherwise.
Lucy
But the black will cover you.
Dominique
The candle too must be burnt in order to bring it.
Lucy
I see only your eyes now.
Dominique
It doesn’t matter.
Lucy
What do you mean?
Dominique
I didn’t do anything with the red, I didn’t do anything with the green, but now I can’t take it anymore.
Lucy
Light!
