A line from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Caliban speechifies, tries

to apologize to Prospero.

The misfortunes of his

body magnify the small

hand gestures he uses

to emphasize what he's

saying. Then he moves,

creates an unintended

hip-hop routine that

ruptures the all-white

surface narrative of the

scene. Pauses, sensing

what he’s done, but notes

in passing he would rather

dance & sing than have

to summarize the Elfking.
