Your Majesty,
People are unfortunately two-sided. Their divine love and light are coherced into sharing the space with a narrow impulse for survival, which itself is force-fed fear and paranoia by our sytem based on authority and power. And Conscience makes it harder to cope with that contradiction.Â
Ok, I sound dramatic. But hey, what can I say, this is my belief. Human beings are taught to judge and accept judgement rather than rejoice for the miracle that life is. And when there’s a bunch of people together, and hierarchy, and power, as a means to serve an artistic end, well, of course, al hell can break loose, and hell can get tiring, unless you’re at an Arcade Fire or Polyphonic Spree concert. Or attending a church service, which I imagine has the same effect. To some extent. Connecting to something together and feeling the beauty and the hope and the vibrations of creative love, in hell and every where. Am I getting carried away here… ? Not even.Â
So I guess that what you’re trying to keep up with the band and making music has everything to do with the opportunities to tap into that beauty. But yes, if you’re thinking about othert art forms, chances are you’re a little bored, or too atune to the music world to accept its humanity.
That said, Artaud performed entirely by children sounds like my kind of experience. Were you thinking of having them read the radiophonic poop/caca pages? Dreamy…
And THAT said, I’m thrilled you’re thinking of coming to check out Jarvis’ exhibition of himself in Paris Thursday, that’s the day I’m participating in the yoga class Jarvis and the band will be playing live to. Of course, it’s the Five Tibetans, my yoga intructor has accepted to take on the challenge :) Bring a yoga mat. Warm up on the Eurostar, the Tibetans are pretty physical. A little twirling will put your problems into perspective. And the gallery Chappe is walking distance from my home, so you can drop bags and what not if needed. Bring a yoga mat. Ha!
I’m supposed to leave that night for the country house. Need more writing done. So might not be around to take you around….. Let me know if you wish me to arrange for another chaperon.
Mad Love,
MN
