𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 consists of texts written to be performed. Sometimes this means a text written as the initial component to a theatrical production. Sometimes a text has been written to be spoken by someone without much other splendour. The words exist to be said, sung or put into action.The texts collected in this book have been written for Amnesia Scanner, Teo Ala-Ruona and Maria Metsalu, among others. The words have been uttered in theaters, performance venues and contemporary art institutions in Berlin, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Tallinn, London, et cetera.
Collecting these texts in book form strips them of their original context while placing them in parallel with each other. A thread runs through them. A thread across time and space. Words are so thin they can resist all this entropy and erosion for a while. Why is there an inkling that all these texts might be one text? This book is, possibly, the slow emergence of three quarters of one idea. In an ideal scenario perceiving this idea taking shape is beautiful and thrilling.
