One thought on “Dressing room makeup”
The moment of truth, when the actor faces the mirror! The magic of the infinite stream of humanity the sacred responsibility to portray, represent and communicate to the masses in the audience. Searching for the common denominator.
At the end of the performance the actor faces the mirror once again and wipes off all of the makeup with soap and water only to be left with
the truth of unfulfilled dreams of what could have been. Usually a harsh reality, but out into the night filled with superficial flattery and posturing and posing. The life of the theatre. The grand farce of life. Who was it that said something like “If God would forgive us our little pranks if we forgive God for the ultimate prank he has played on us” (by creating us in this God-forsakedn world) Not original.
