THE MAN/MALE CHOIR

“in-in ... in-inside my skull ...”

the shaking of both skull and head intensifies until THE MAN spits the soft stone out of his mouth. it flies in a great arc towards THE THREE WOMEN who respond by throwing the skull in the direction of THE MAN. at the same moment THE THREE WOMEN catch the stone THE MAN catches his skull.

THREE WOMEN/WOMEN CHOIR

it was a so called soft stone a stone that to the eye looks soft a stone that promises a soft touch to the palm of the hand but betrays it with its shiny, black hardness ...

THE MAN contemplates his complete, rattling skull.
