PREFACE vii
As lateral means to a dramatic end, my early solo initiatives of What Happens When Your Mind Goes Blank? and the Privattheater trilogy came to define a singular and strangely coherent project, providing material and direction for all subsequent collaboration. Primarily, I would lead Psychological Art Circus to create a body of theatrical work guided by three seers: Anna O., Olive Pixley, and in Illusions of Reference, the Oracle, Pythia; after which, I began slowly to discern the framework for one final act, a conceptual three-ring circus inspired by a sustained and ongoing exploration into the troubadour turned Trinitarian Ramon Llull.
