Interludes of the Heart

INTERLUDES OF THE HEART
by Robert Blumenfeld

Reading at The Players Club
Directed by Leslie Kincaid Burby

Produced by Simple Production/Flo Ankah

In Interludes of the Heart the great writer Marcel Proust struggles to stave off death so he can complete his masterpiece, A la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time). His housekeeper Céleste Albaret ministers to his every need, and his brother Robert, a physician, urges him to go to a hospital, but he refuses. The play goes back and forth in time, as Proust relives some of his past; and an American graduate student interviews Céleste near the end of her own life. We meet the writer André Gide, a friend and rival of Proust; the diplomat Paul Morand and his wife, the Rumanian Princess Soutzo; Count Robert de Montesquiou, a poet and aesthete; and Alfred Agostinelli, with whom Proust was in love. Proust thought that a work of art should be understood without reference to the author’s life. In Proust’s case it has been easy to confuse author and the first-person Narrator, because the book contains autobiographical elements. However, the aspiring writer who is the Narrator of In Search of Lost Time is not Marcel Proust, any more than the character in my play (who says and does things Proust said and did), is Proust.

Training in person is the best! 
#playtime #consciousness #thetahealing

Also I would like to address the #elephant in the room, but where is the snow? I feel like this year is a rip off!

It was magic, we were in class and neighbors put a handwritten letter under our door to defy us to a snowball battle. 

I always think the team of artists is the winner, essentially we are all artists creating a life of beauty 💋

Delighted to be on my way to #mexico one more time for an amazing experience of the #planesofexistence 

Last time I went I was 15 and created a photo exhibition from my trip. Let’s see how the energy of the land inspires me this time ♥️🌪️💫
