TL#23



Και τωρα απο την αλλα οχθη του ωκεανου, συνεχιζω τα Υπερατλαντικα Γραμματα.
Βρηκα προχθες τις παρακατω σκεψεις μου σ'ενα τετραδιο:
Life when lived well, is more than working, getting married, raising children, acquiring wealth...
It is all about the unexpected that is waiting for us around the corner, the glowing sceletons in our closets, the burning desires for the unobtainable, the companionship, the voyage, the unpredictable that come to meet us mid way.
So life is all about getting out there, making yourself available and seductive at your own risk.
I have never liked the ordinary, the domesticated, predictable and boringly safe way of living.
I am curious, love to be mixing myself in the business of the others, availing myself to strangers.
 I often have anxiety attacks imagining that all kinds of misfortunes can fall upon me, like they fall on Valentina and Blanche Epiphany, yet I keep on poking my nose out of my shell.

TL#22

November found me still in Europe, and this time I went to Milan. I ended up in Milan as a member of a theater group! Initially I was hired to design and make the costumes and sets, meanwhile in the process I ended up being hired to play the protagonistic double role! A strange, yet rich experience with lots of ups and downs that ended well in a world premier of my dramatic talent on the stage of Teatro Puccini Elfo under the aegis of Edge Festival 2010.
Things are never what they seem to be, illusion and imagination take over reality and add salt and pepper in life.
Months ago I let myself follow the white rabbit and like Alice I experienced half a year of wandering from East to West immersed in the entropy of people, actions and situations that came my way. My Grand Tour of 2010 will end soon and I am looking forward to more fabulous encounters and more marvelous travels in unknown territories in the near future. 
I feel that my wings are spreading out and am ready to use them.
