If you take on the role of Medea,
you will need a safe place for
recovery after the stress of
performance. You have read the text
of Euripides many times to prepare
yourself, and Cicero, that triumph
of a human being, who was reading
Medea when he was murdered, has already
sheltered you in his eternal integrity.
You require little more to achieve
your triumph on stage...
And in a deep recess of your psyche
there is a region with fountains
cascading over silver streams,
with flower-covered plateaus embedded
in white granite, with a unique species
of BIRD OF PARADISE who nurtures
her new-born in a floating nest, defying
gravity and making flight a leisure pastime.
Your soul will be refreshed in this region,
while you perform night after night this drama
of the mismatch of female and male energies.
And you will protected from the despair
of admitting such a character into your being
by two angels, neither female nor male, who
transcend the human dichotomy of sex, and
whose perfect rapport shall be evermore
the model for lovers and friends and siblings
of both genders of our divided nature.
