It is a 60 year old man with no hair on any parts of its body it stands wearing a cloth diaper and plays a rattle occasionally white powder falls on it that is all
the rattle is a percussion instrument from Africa that makes a rain sound and keeps a beat
communication with its partners is achieved by subtle variations in the music it plays on its rattle it is mute other than this music if it wasn't absolutely keen the audience would think there was no change at all in the sounds it plays
the point is glacial modulation
it discovers acting and musical partners in every single thing moment being and sound that occurs it is steadfast loyal strong enduring and plays for love not laughs or coins although every response it receives becomes fodder for its next response and so forth
and so it plays and stands absolutely calm and plays some more from the time the first person enters the concert hall whether it be a member of the audience an usher or another actor warming up on stage it stands and plays through out the piece of entertainment and on after the amusement is complete and everyone has left the theater including the janitor
it is.
