I am, it seems, an avant-garde dramatist. it would even seem obvious since i am present here at discussions on the avant-garde theatre. it is all entirely official. but what does the term avant-garde mean?

Now there is no taboo; everything is allowed. but one cannot simply go back to tonality, it’s not the way. we must find a way of neither going back nor continuing the avant-garde. i am in a prison: one wall is the avant-garde, the other wall is the past, and i want to escape.

All the way out i listen to the car am radio, bad lyrics of trailer park love, gin and tonic love, strobe light love, lost and found love, lost and found and lost love, lost and lost and lost love—some people were having no luck at all. the dj sounds quick and smooth and after-shaved, the rest of the world a mess by comparison.
