Memento Mori - Introspective [Thestival 2019]
Transcript: When was the last time you were happy? For me, happy is fleeting. It is a golden snitch that brushes on my fingertips before leaving me behind, it’s the bus that is still in view when you rush round the corner but takes off as you go to step on; it is painful because I know it’s not going to last, when it leaves I’ll be left with a gaping whole I don’t know how to fill; I fill it with ideas, thoughts, with the questions I know are best left unasked. The last time I was happy was before I asked myself the question “Why am I worth saving?” because, I’m not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memento Mori is an original script produced for this years Thestival that takes an abstract look at life, death and everything in-between.
