a blank page like a tautly stretched expectation
a stroke with the indelible power of a line
a line from here to there & much further still
burnt coal_ an etching_ gas discharge lamps_ energy
a story unfolding about a man_ or a woman_ or something of both
Chimera is a graphic novel by Mattotti that inspired the Stap actors to create their own live drawn story.
Theater Stap regularly performs this short piece for audiences at squats or festivals.
