Crystal mette & the fictions

Crystal Mette & the Fictions is a 50 minute play where all creatures coming from my id dwell around in a liminal state, observed and described by an anthropologist. 

"THIS IS THE INTRODUCTION OF A WORLD WE NORMALLY CAN'T SEE AS IT ALL IS IN OUR HEAD AND WE HAVE SOMETIMES PROBLEMS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS. CLAP YOUR HANDS IF YOU STILL BELIEVE IN WORLD PEACE, ETERNAL HAPPINESS, FOREVER YOUGNESS AND THAT THE MARKET WILL SOLVE ALL OUR PROBLEMS?
WE'RE SO CAUGHT UP IN OUR LONELY INDIVIDUAL BUBBLES, SO WE DON'T NOTICE THE EXTRA BEINGS AROUND US THAT MAKE OUR LIFE TURN AND TWIST EVAPORATE IN THE END.
AS WITH MANY TRADITIONS WE TEND TO BE GUIDED BY ASSUMPTIONS. BUT WHAT ARE THESE FORCES THAT HAVE BROUGHT US HERE AND ELSEWHERE? WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE IS MORE AND MORE INFORMATION, AND LESS AND LESS MEANING. IF WE COULD HAVE BELIEVED THAT THESE IMAGES ONLY MASKED THE IDEA OF BEINGS, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO REASON TO DESTROY THEM. I LIVE IN THIS WORLD, WHICH FOR YOU HAS ALL THE DISQUIETING STRANGENESS, WITH ALL THE VERACITY OF LIVING PHANTOMS, OF WANDERING AND SIMULATING ANIMALS . LEAVING A VIRGIN, SACRED SPACE WITHOUT PATHWAYS, WHERE ONLY THEY CAN LIVE WITHOUT MATTER."
