One of the most important works of literature in my life. This play opened my eyes to what was possible in drama, in comedy, in philosophy, in performance, in conversation with the past. My first play was an almost direct homage and I’ve been chasing it ever since. RIP to a true genius.

La santa y el cisne — Nieves González
Painting of a young woman holding a swan in her lap done in the style of a baroque portrait of a saint. The most noticeable difference is that this contemporary woman is wearing a big silver puffy down coat.

🍁 5% of all deaths in Canada in 2024 were legally assisted, dignified, and on that person's terms.

I'm damn glad I (hopefully will) have this option when the time comes. 👍
