All
the people have formed a line across the stage and are on their
haunches swaying as they
chant. The Gigolo and Schoolgirl are seated the same but in front
facing the line – but not
chanting. The Guru marks their foreheads with his thumb as some
sort of imitation anointing. As
this chanting has been in progress, the Clown/Death has been crossing
and recrossing diagonally
across the stage – U/S R scooping handfuls of wet sand into
the small piece of veil, carrying
over DSL behind the chanters and splatting it down – as
if attempting to remove all the sand
from one side of the beach to the other. He vocalises his footsteps
across the sand and the
splat of wet sand dollops that he deposits – all these sounds
forming a lunatic, mesmerising
musicality.
