Super Dakota

Borrowing its title from the eponymous Arthur Rimbaud’s prose poem, the show explores emotional aftermaths and internalized landscapes.

“Once, if my memory serves me well, my life was a
banquet where every heart revealed itself, where
every wine flowed.

One evening I sat Beauty on my lap and I found
her bitter,
and I insulted her.
I steeled myself against justice.

I fled. O witches, O misery, O hate, my treasure
was left in your

care...”

I have withered within me all human hope.

With the silent leap of a sullen beast, I have

downed and strangled every joy.

I have called for executioners; I want to perish

Chewing on their gun butts. I have called for

plagues, to suffocate in sand and blood.

Unhappiness has been my god.

I have laid down in the mud, and dried myself off

In the crime-infested air. I have played the fool to

The point of madness.

— A. Rimbaud, A Season in Hell
