Christlike

that adjective keeps running through my head today. it applies to many things, gives automatic depth to any artpiece.

Christlike running shoes
Christlike boutique hotel
Christlike sandwich
Christlike themes
Christlike bouquet of calla lillies

i was teching the show yesterday and there was a shadow of some metal bars on the black curtain behind it. leigh said

'that looks really amazing' and i said,

'yeah very Jesus-y'
even though it didn't look like that at all. but i wanted to say it.

i saw some production of athol fugard's 'blood knot' a few years back. all of his plays are basically a slowly simmering duet of 1-2 white actors and 1-2 black actors for an hour or so, with a big blowup at the end. no exception with this play. there were some crossbars in the background that glowed at the end, like telephone poles or something. no denying that that was kind of jesus-y. but there werent any Christlike characters in the play.
there's a sculpture of britney spears giving birth. Marylike.
