22692 - Shadow X

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Two wounded women with the light of the sun.

Lucy

Who hit you?

Dominique

The shadows.

Lucy

Me too…

Dominique

They are everywhere now.

Lucy

I’ve seen it…I hadn’t realized it.

Dominique

They‘re taking advantage of the societies of indifference.

Lucy

We know how they work.

Dominique

We lived it.

Lucy

But we didn’t die.

Dominique

Now we have to fight for the others too.

Lucy

For those who think that there is no other color.

Dominique

That’s why we will light candles.

Lucy

Where?

Dominique

Wherever we see shadows.

They start lighting candles on the stage.

Lucy

The lights of Humanity…

Dominique

Only these can endure such black.

With the light of the candles, we see the black subsiding even from on them.

Lucy

Look Dominique, the black is going away!

Dominique

Oh my Lucy, he was right.

Lucy

Who?

Dominique

He who gave us the light!
