My remarks and twofold take on the Biden-Harris Inauguration 2021.
An emptiness you can call fear, a threatening void hovering in the air, for the crowd climbing the stairs up, or climbing the stairs down, moving the platform left, or moving the platform right!
As if an absent, strong presence haunting them, how can this be?, either they were laughing-talking-celebrating, or momentarily, hiding concerned faces and agonizing botoxed wrinkles, beyond their forgiving masks...
A pending 'rogue' axe whose abrupt dropping frequencies they know not! A pitiful spectacle for us!A pitiful spectacle for the tomorrow's historian...!
A sad view, a malodorous stench of decay, of stale, rotting blood, of repent-less malice, reeking the atmosphere!A sad view!

THE POSTER
Photos and material from Witold Gombrowicz's OPERETKA from theatrical productions all around the world.
This "Operetta" is,
"A political play in essence, with the whole history of the 20th century
'running through' it, featuring the decline, decay and deterioration of
the ruling class and all forms of rebellion. The writer, with a
catalytic humor and several? Absurd? Dialogues, exercises strong
criticism in all directions, without basically adopting a firm position.
The whole structure is presented through the naivety and merriment of
an operetta, that includes songs, sketches, and dancing, which underline
the various situations...."
and so absolutely very contemporary as of yesterday the 20th., and today the 21st of January 2021...!!!
m.l.p.
The Inaugurated
The 'public': Participants in the Inauguration...!
and the ANTI(L)A celebrating public...
The Singer:"Libertad a todooos!"
The 1000 Guests, dancing and celebrating the Inauguration in the Great Hall of the White (L)ouse, if there had been any, of course... (dancing and celebrating that is)
Congratulating the Great Inaugurated One!
The Inaugurated DUO surrounded by darkness...
and calculating "dominion" secrets...
Grotesque Revisited , indeed!
At least, this Inaugurated One feels the misery of his predicament...
"The Desert Land"(T.S. Elliot) , Necropolis in front of the White (L)ouse...
and the 'Yellow Entity' bluntly practicing magic, with flexible snaky arrogant little hands right on our face?!
"...If we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy, and change, our children's birth right..."
Opereta - Vitold Gobrovic

The whole structure is presented through the naivety and merriment of
an operetta, that includes songs, sketches, and dancing, which underline
the various situations. The play, written in 1966, was a prophecy for
May '68 and the hippie movement, through the total nakedness of youth,
who renounce civilization and its decline in this way. Such are the
messages promoted by this performance, by presenting the modern outcome
of those hopes.
