Instead of the winter at York University, you are surrounded by the late summer in Tandun's garden in downtown Jakarta (my favorite city). The two dogs, Ziggy and Uma, scuffle on the dry grass, Ziggy the husky a bit crazy from the heat. Elegant wrought iron furniture, withered vines, broken flower pots - This is the set for a tropical drama. But you are invited to step behind the flapping curtain, where you might find yourself in the position of an understudy, waiting for the star's fatal slip... As always, the really exciting part happens backstage. (Backstage drama, my favorite genre.) Or rather, the really exciting part is that one step through the curtain, that thin in between space, that slice of a moment. That's the step with potential!
