Pilogy

I have been on another adventure that I think contains something of our play in it.

Pi relates to us because pi is circular, like our space, for example, and infinite, like the imagination Megan champions.

Or perhaps the circle is contained, like our bodies, and infinite like our minds.



According to Zeno's Paradoxes, Achilles can never reach the Tortoise because at the Tortoise makes another movement time passes, and during this time Achilles gains on him. But then over the next period of time Achilles will gain a little more and so on. While the segments of time grow shorter and Achilles gains on him more and more, he will never overtake the Tortoise.

"There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge." (Carroll, Alice in Wonderland)

I had the impulse in rehearsal the other day to make the Ted/Paul scene a slow spiral inward, but I was not sure why.

Also this looks very close to the set design:



It comes up when you search for Zeno's paradoxes on Wikipedia.

Eliza also serves pie and has an obsession with it.

Pi is like some sort of thing to do with the play that I can't explain (in case that isn't obvious!)

TO TRY AND PUT THIS INTO A THING:

Perhaps as we expose more of our private selves to the outside world, the outside world also takes from us, and we become closer and closer to some sort of endpoint, which here is represented by "clown".

Or perhaps the inequation that can only result in absurdism is what happens when Achilles reaches the rabbit.

All of our most famous number artists thought this way like Einstein, Newton or Mobius. Also some of our most famous mathematicians like Escher, Da Vinci or Picasso.



I can now say with some certainly that we have solved this play.
