RE: The brocade

I hadn't really thought about what it meant... but, yes. Could be that way. I share the feeling for sure.

Now I think of it - the actors - they came into my mind only at the last paragraph because I suddenly saw the cloth as a scene curtain. I think I see them as something more noble than the corrupt people in government. They are not the police after all. Maybe it is about the struggle of organising politically opposed to the backward-looking and yet avant-garde ways of art... always telling us what is happening right now by going everywhere else than the social science statistics of now and here.

I am second guessing myself :) I honestly have no idea.
