Pentecost. Garden of Eden. Carnivale. The wars, the atrocity. The division of sexuality. the division of humanity. the dichotomy of the brain and the heart. didactic sexual organ. hermaphrodite god.
First we see love. we see unification. fecundity. women and men, men and men, women and women. All in camouflage of the terrain. loving one another, dancing. The peace with which they live and interact.
then the bells. It is the Pentecost. the time to give thanks to the hermaphrodite god who enlightened them and broke down their constructs. who freed them sexually.
The hurry to dress in their garb for the celebration. Women on one side, men on the other. Men wear intricate military gear. Women wear various constraining and cumbersome costumes. they are almost immobile.
through a series of "waring" and "waiting" they struggle to complete the various tasks to get to the finale.
In the finally the man solidier is brought before the god. He sees The Waiting Girl. he thinks she's waiting for him, but she is not. She is like a siren (good natured) tricks him into trading costumes and sends him out into the world as a woman. Once he leaves her "ladies in waiting" - which I will call "intentions" quickly turn her back into a woman. beat the drums sound the trumpets. we all dance. [reference Animal Collective "we tigers"]
