Cargo Baksheesh

Ever had trouble at the border?
Last night I went to the dress rehearsal of Cargo Sofia

I don't want to give its secrets away.

But it's a strange and lovely thing to be wished a happy transport, then be driven around your city with the blinds down.
Open up and reveal...well, not like a sight you'd recognise, or a spectacular one you are impressed by...just the side of some containers things really.
Not bam-bam-in-your-face but evocative and real and make-believe and understated and very very human.

C u very soon

Have a listen to (murmur)dublindocklands - its a project running in Docklands as part of Bealtaine (url bealtaine.com) - 01 657 5649 - you'll need codes so look out for the Big Green Ears, or go to www.murmurdublindocklands.info after Weds at the moment just a holding page. (ps calls cost whatever your provider charges for a local call)

I once wasn't allowed across a border but I waited and waited and waited for over a day and the guards got tired of me and eventually they said "fine, if you want it that bad, you can cross but don't say we didn't warn you".

I just walked though.
