An excerpt from Italy, a solo performance piece.
(SOUND OF HARP. SOUND OF CHIMES. MUSIC begins.)
DREAMING WOMAN
In my dream I have dark skin. I’m naked except for something wrapped around my waist. I can’t tell if I’m a girl or a boy. It doesn’t seem to matter. What does matter is the smell of the ocean the dancing of the waves the sunlight the sand. I wade in a shallow pool of water in between some rocks. A dolphin!
DOLPHIN
Come and play!
DREAMING WOMAN
I can’t. I don’t remember how to breathe under water.
DOLPHIN
I’ll remind you.
DREAMING WOMAN
Okay. He’s my friend from a long time ago. Before I was born into this dark skin. I grasp his dorsal fin. We glide through the water. This is my home.
DOLPHIN
When you breathe under water your nose must allow only the air molecules in.
DREAMING WOMAN
Yes. I remember.
(MUSIC ends.)
