Exquisite Carrier (or: Five of My Children In a Single Grave)

Phase I: Play as a virus' strains changing from body to body (introduce yourself, explore an area, grow, find nothing left, fall dormant).

Just this once: explore changing bodies. Do not fear, do not panic, be curios, be detail-oriented, encompass desire, be beside yourself capturing with words and expression what is a scene of fire as but a mountain dressed in autumn leaves.

Phase II: Describe changing symptoms as the virus pilgrimages from one person into others as though the symptoms were changes in fashion: colorful dresses, silky suits, edible fascinators, wild penny loafers, deft blouses, fair cuff links.

You are you. Sick or well: be and know you are beloved.

Squisita Spedizioniere (o: V miei figliuoli in un’unica fossa)

Fase I: Gioca come un virus' ceppi di virus che cambiano da un corpo all'altro (presentarsi, esplorare un'area, crescere, non trovare nulla, cadere dormiente).

Solo questa volta: esplorare i corpi che cambiano. Non temete, non fatevi prendere dal panico, siate curiosi, siate orientati ai dettagli, abbracciate il desiderio, state accanto a voi stessi catturando con le parole e l'espressione quella che è una scena di fuoco come se fosse una montagna vestita di foglie autunnali.

Fase II: Descrivere i sintomi mutevoli come il pellegrinaggio del virus da una persona ad un'altra come se i sintomi fossero cambiamenti di moda: abiti colorati, abiti setosi, fascinatori commestibili, mocassini selvaggi, camicette abili, gemelli giusti.

Tu sei tu. Malato o bene: sii e sappi che sei amato.
