The artists in this performance were all clad in green. As I gazed upon my own regalia, I realised it was the same. Who was I in this production and while everybody performed the well choreographed moves, I remained rooted to the ground. Judging by her graceful movements, a seasoned player in this performance held my shoulders and ushered me to my proper position. While firmly a bit player in this magnificent show, I still remained clueless as to what was expected of me. As the main players gathered at centre stage the show began.
There was a frenzy of activity, though the dialogue remained brief and muted. As I looked around, an air of familiarity began to invade my psyche. I had been a performer on maybe not this stage but many like it. As I watched the orchestral movements unfold in front of me, an air of excitement permeated my psyche. And as the adrenaline gushed through my veins, I realised my role in this command performance. Though the air in this arena was cool, I felt warm as I awaited the climax of the show. A tune punctuated the air and startled me. Shrill and urgent, and after a brief silence it was there again. It continued punctuated by its nanosecond silences.
