William Kentridge’s "The Great Yes, The Great No" follows a 1941 refugee ship where artists and thinkers flee a collapsing Europe. Half history, half dream, it shows how exile becomes a drifting chorus of voices, images, and unsettled futures.

At the Central Station, Marlow finds a world held together by emptiness: a Manager defined mostly by his hollowness, agents drifting without purpose, and a ship suspiciously sunk. All of it hints at the anxiety surrounding Kurtz. #JosephConrad #HeartOfDarkness

At the Outer Station, Marlow sees rusting machines and pointless labor, signs of an empire that drains rather than builds. What disturbs him most is the “pretending devil”: violence dressed up as virtue, the hypocrisy that fuels the colonial project. #JosephConrad

Still thinking about the Guardian calling Lear, the character, "unplayable." His dementia and his bullying, his warrior status and kingship are cited. Dallying with the daughters. His pathos. Maybe all of us real people are unplayable, because none of us has just one tragic flaw. #kinglear_2025
