Sensational Sunday Solstice Soiree

solstice

This coming Sunday boasts the most daylight of the year as well as some of the most talented performers we know…  
  
If the break with the star could be accomplished in the manner of an event–if we could (if only through the violence that operates in our bruised space), depart from the cosmic order (the world), where whatever the visible disorder, order always dominates–still, the thought of the disaster, in its adjourned imminence, would lend itself to an experience of discovery whereby we could only be recuperated, not exposed to that which escapes in motionless flight, is separate from the living and from the dying and is not experience, but outside the realm of phenomena.

—Blanchot
