SOMETHING SURREAL #01: CANNIBAL GRANNY
SOMETHING SURREAL #01: CANNIBAL GRANNY
(x)
I can imagine a dialogue at the precinct going on somewhat like this:
- Why is the granny here?
- Cannibalism.
- Seriously? She’s eightysomething! How?
- It’s all in these papers. She takes out not too fast victims. Look, she’s still wearing the trophy from the last one..
- Are you talking about the dental plate?
- Yes. And since you are here, go over there, take it and put it in this bag.
- ... Does it have to be me?

SOMETHING SURREAL #2: INFLATED LOVE.
The last daisy petal tells the inflatable doll how she's not loved. Not a mindblowing news, but still kind of a drag, poor thing. (x)

SOMETHING SURREAL #3: I SEE NOTHING.
A cross talk between Andromaca and Cassandra from La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu by J. Giraudoux.
In his play Giradoux shifts the lunacy axis shifts from she who is condemned to never be believed to the one that blindly believes in the gods.

IO NON VEDO NIENTE.
Uno scambio di battute fra Andromaca e Cassandra tratto da La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu di J. Giraudoux.
Nel suo lavoro Giradoux sposta l'asse della follia da colei che è condannata a non essere mai creduta a colei che crede ciecamente negli dei.
A: Ma insomma, Cassandra, non ti secca prevedere e vedere solo catastrofi?
C: Io non vedo niente, Andromaca. Io non prevedo niente. Tengo solamente conto di due forme di stupidità: quella degli uomini e quella degli elementi.
-
A: Really, Cassandra, doesn't bother you to foresee and see only ruin?
C: I see nothing, Andromaca. I foresee nothing. I just reckon with two kind of stupidity: one of people and one of the elements.
