And what about Time Plays? For whom does it
play? For the children of …?
The artist:
Yes, right you are. Before anything was, Time
is. Time Plays is an international tongue, the
tongue of movement – e.g. movement in
silence to be played everywhere by players
of time, by the New time-players … All the
old ritual of our time is here and all the new
ritual of our time is here too … There must be
a meaning in every movement. – Before the
word was was the movement. The Movement
and the Word are one. They could be.
The reader:
Me to play, you mean?
The artist:
Yes, players from on high, players from below.
Some time, please, give me some time to
play. Now it’s time to play. It’s your turn of the
life-screw. Turn on now. Time has waited long
enough. Don’t wait for anybody else. It’s time
now. Time to play.
