OPEN LITERATURE
by The Living Theatre
during the Know Your Rites Tour, August 2016
“only the people can do what is needed. only the people
can free the people.” I & Though
it still saddens my heart we do not even know
what liberation looks like, or feels like. Don’t we deserve
to experience this?
Who do we know who has come closest to
liberation?
Liberation is like a cloud, shifting shapes, appearing +
reappearing in various forms only to float away so it
can find another form to return in.
“hope exists only in the imagination. we cannot exist without
hope, therefore we cannot exist without the imagination.”
Take me there. I don’t know if I’m ready but death is the only other option. The system must
be broken down, brittle bone by brittle bone.
It must taste like fresh peach sangria tickling the spine and lizard brain. Awaken
the heart chambers. Send the elevator flying through the rooftop. Free the people.
Feed the people. Scrape money out of politics. What else? Everything. Fierce tenderness.
WE ARE THERE, HERE. IT IS IN US.
IMPROVESTION, LETTING GO FROM THE IDIA OR THOUGHT OF WHAT IS
SOPOSSED TOO.
LETTING YOUR TRUE HEART SONG OUT. SHARE IT. no dgugment or defenition.
FREEING YOUR SELF FROM YOUR SELF. THAT MOMENT OF REBIRTH. BRAKING
OUT IN SONG, DANCE
CONECTION. Freedom of expretion. not needing to be dipending on ANY OUTWARD SORS
FOR LIVING.
Growing My Own Food And Having Clean Water That Is Liberation. KNOWING YOU HAVE
THE
CHOOSE AND THE ABILITY TO CREAT YOUR OWN REALITY> WEN I SEE YOU IN ME
AND ME IN YOU
WEN WE SEE. WEN I FEEL THE EARTH UNDER MY FEET> SHARING HER WITH YOU.
TRULY. WE ARE FREE.
