02 / Notes on the performance

The performance
never ends.

OFFSTAGE ≠ OUT OF CHARACTER

Always in character.

Whatever happens, he casts himself as the good guy.

[Delivery: sincere.]

A flexible relationship with the truth.

The story changes. His innocence remains.

[Revision: ongoing.]

A clear understanding of boundaries.

He crosses them anyway.

[Direction: ignored.]
BOUNDARY / DO NOT CROSS

He keeps looking for happiness in lives
that are not his to rearrange.

[No curtain.]

BEFORE YOU TRUST THE PERFORMANCE

He wants your trust.
Not the responsibility that comes with it.

Let someone else applaud.
Keep your distance.
