as a boy
as a generic child really
I saw so much acting in front of me
on the stage, in the theatre
that I never lost that antenna for affective reactions
performed to some text, snippets of grandiose ideology,
dramaturgical theology, roles of bureaucrats,
or a factotum trained in the art of not plurally playing 'themselves'
in other words,
I never met people who are not possessed
by an affective performativity
linked to some law, to local prejudices,
to personal lies motivating their intentions
real -unencumbered- people
are never/seldom found
within a conformist/destructive culture...
