Experience
Marelle


None.

After the German Wheel rolls off, the troupe returns to the stage running, leaping, and dancing across it, with the young girl, Zoë, taking in all she can. The last she’s seen of any of her parents was her father, wandering around in socks with his eyes buried firmly in his newspaper. A suitcase he’d been carrying about with him opens and its contents (a red balloon) escapes without his notice, or care. Now, however, she’s spotted him wandering around, still in oblivion, engrossed more than ever in his newspaper. She tentatively tries to get his attention by playing a game of hopscotch, but he’s having nothing of it. Nor does he take notice to four faux Zoë’s who have begun to dance around him.

Meanwhile, John attempts to court Zoë’s favor by manipulating a set of juggling rings on an apparatus attached to his head, but she scoffs and turns away. John, visibly hurt by her scorn, is soothed by the four Zoë-look-alikes who have taken up positions around him, fawning over John’s every move. As John revels in the attention the faux Zoe’s are providing, the remainder of the troupe appears with varying sizes of drums – from small, tinny snare drums to large, thundering bass drums. But the loud crescendo frightens Zoë, who instead covers her head and hides from the world.
