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!
