They hereby Confessed and Testified!

A DISTINCTIVE REALITY 


Mahdi Yahya in EN'KEPHALE - 2008
Dear Dramatis Personae
I envy you 
For Gulbenkian always smells funny when Nagy Souraty is rehearsing 
An odor that gradually penetrates your brains to a state of fanatic addiction.
An odor of a new world, an odd world in a far dimension, 
where life with all its miseries is free and beautiful. 
[...]
I thank you for sharing your space with me. 
You are in a dimension of a distinctive reality, 
where your brains can float in a sea of your own fantasy.
So enjoy it 
You are in that exact time and space that will never run again. 
And when you are out there, 
you will notice envy eyes on the façade of your spectators 
when talking back about it and describing it. 
So live it fully.
You have a breathtaking show.
So never let it down. 
After all, you are in the heart of the heart of another person,
So cherish it,
Kiss it with your mind,
Take absolute pleasure of being in the most delicate place ever pounded with life.
And immerse yourself in that experience of a lifetime. 
And if not now, someday you will understand.
Wishing you all the best.

Mahdi Yahya - January 2010

Fast Fact: Mahdi is one of the Aghonistikoi who live thousands of kilometers away and who make sure to take part in our rehearsals or performances. He shared with us few rehearsals of "In the Heart of the Heart of Another Body" in December 2009 in LAU. He sent us this letter on his way back to London.
