Dream, After a Treat

Overview

The last days of a king as a metaphor.
A tyrannical emperor is on the road to downfall. Generals disobey, mistresses flee, the king is captured and sentenced to execution.
Whoever captures the king becomes the next king. Until yesterday it was the king's clown.
A king on his deathbed. The irony of life, it's 'a one-time dream'.
A metaphor for the end of youth, retirement, the decline of the body, the rise and fall of prosperity, and the changing seasons of nature.
If the next king was a clown yesterday, then previous kings were once clowns too.

- Participated in the ACA National Arts Festival 1987
