Caliban Speaks
by: Caliban
(Caliban enters the room and speaks to Shakespeare)
Caliban: Master! Master!
I am.
Caliban.
I thank you
Because of you
I am.
But not only.
Real tears
running in memories
of our common past.
Today,
I play, I speak.
I dream.
In this scenario
I am not a shadow
but Caliban
seen through light.
You can listen to me.
Quite an experience isn’t it?
(Caliban moves his head towards the audience)
Now,
These words that have reached you,
few:
I have chosen my voice to laugh, to sing, to be.
We have chosen.
You, and me
to (only) use this ___________(actor is thinking)
possibility.
It is not a question
but a perception
of this___________
present presented
really.
