Let's Start With the Obvious (dialogue for a hero and her arch nemesis)

A one-act play for two performers, who impersonate two YouTube mashups of movie insults and threats, embodying the cinematic history of rage and humiliation, and arrive at a meta-proto-arch-dialogue. At the origin of the first dramatic conflict ever told, there was a protagonist and an antagonist: they tried to communicate; they miscommunicated.

Guru Rugu presenting the experimental meditation, For Woodwinds (Tonglen Variations) by Adam Overton, at Machine Project.
