#4 Waking Up & Growing Up

growing up on an island just so out of nothing you come to an approach to performance to life to living which allows you to play with the superficiality of the everyday busy-ness or bacchanal activity of the foreground in such a way that the fundamental background that is always there is eventually revealed waiting as it were but that background is so obvious it cannot be explained nor can what happens there be put into words because nothing is happening really there is just an is-ness there where the sea is everlastingly curving under a horizon that is not there hills standing there doing nothing blocking out the rising sun casting shadows that dance then disappear that is the surprise of a jouvay morning realisation that jouvay that stillness that silence in the midst of activity in the midst of noise that is waking up through a performance of the shifting foreground to the permanence of the so-called background that is not permanent at all so jouvay is not really a process that leads to anything it is just an ordinary ritual of the sunrise that the people make in the silence
