All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players
To have or not to have, that is the question
Can we accept the naked truth, or is it more convenient to see it dressed up?
Are we afraid of the truth? Is there truth in madness?
Our journey of Turtles Will Never Fly takes us through the make believe world of movies and advertising, to the world of politics. The people love a circus, where balancing, tricks and danger are part of the act.
Are politicians circus performers? Are our lovers doomed like Romeo and Juliet? Not if they are allowed to live in a dream protected by their umbrella…
“Turtles will never fly, of course. But they did, on a memorable evening….. they not only flew, they soared and they wheeled, they leapt and they pirouetted, and in perfect formation like a flock of homing birds.”
