:Tuladance:
The signal has faded and the crackle morphs from a slow hum to a loud distortion of noise. The lights start to rise on dancers in flowing blue gowns. As the noise drones on the dancers start to come to life. They move slowly at first as if they have been frozen for years. As they begin to move more and more the movements become more violent. The movement begins to imitate the drones of the noise music. The drone music stops abruptly when LiL drops from a rope the dancers die. She walks the space and after a moment the dancers begin to rise again. She controls them with her fingers. The little boy wanders onto stage and the dancers freeze. LiL moves toward him.
LiL: May I help lep?
Little boy watches LiL but does not speak
LiL: I said was may I help without leprosy loprosket
Still the boy is silent
LiL: without a tongue is dangerous around here little boy
Little boy starts to play with something in his hand not listening to her.
LiL: best mind your mind you Mindy took offence once and never was again she never again listen up little boy I say mind your mind it because it wont just be my wrath you catch.
Little boy stops playing with the thing in his hand and stares at her then starts to walk away. The clouds turn gray and then there is loud rumbling noises the boy seems unfazed he continues to walk the space. The noises begin to get louder and louder as the dancers jump around the space. The dancers start to dance again in a harsh and violent way. They start to dance around the boy and then pick him up and throw him into the audience. After they toss him in the audience the dancers die and the only one left standing is LiL, she claps her hands and men in black cloths and black masks come and drag the dancers off the stage. The noise becomes very quiet and translucents into the crickets of the evening.
LiL exits.
