playmobil / brecht
The first in a series of great moments in literature acted out by my daughter's * Playmobil guys.
Bertolt Brecht, “Changing the Wheel”I sit by the roadside
The driver changes the wheel.
I do not like the place I have come from.
I do not like the place I am going to.
Why with impatience do I
Watch him changing the wheel.
* I say "my daughter's," but others in my household might well disagree. I am, after all, taking pictures of them acting out moments mentioned in my manuscript in progress. There's more to say - I really do feel like my time playing with this stuff when I was a kid might have had a major effect on my aesthetic and political bearings, the dissertation I wrote, the books that I am trying to write now. But that's for another post.... The next one - spoiler warning - will do the montage sequence ("comices agricoles") from Bovary...
