A person seeks spectacularity.
The error is part of the attempt.
The child wants to be a heroine.
Contempt surrounds him.
Trauma is fire.

5 memories bring back to the abyss.
Twists, breaks, tension, punishment, competition, goodbye.
3 exercises push toward the light.
Hoop, ball, ribbon.
Cassette memories: Stravinsky, LeGrand, Chopin.
