DIALOGIST-KANTOR

We found a video from December 20th 2012 at 3:37 am. 

On it there are feet frantically stumping on coins and a five Euro bill all spread out on a white carpet. 

We can identify voices of Thibaut Espiau, Grégoire Motte Toni Geirlandt and Carlos Montalvo.

Clearly inside our Coffre Fort It seems that Ištvan Išt Huzjan is behind the camera.

 
Grégoire  :  … ah sub. Ah.... Ahrr.... Bastard…. Sixty sixty-five fiiiiiiiiive only... only... Only sixty-five!
Thibaut  :  It’s cool! It’s cool!
Grégoire  :  It’s cool but... It’ll...
Toni  :  Yes, but I…
Grégoire  :  Carlos, I think he put the ticket in his pocket!
Thibaut  :  Hey hey hey!
Carlos  :  Ha ha ha!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha!
Thibaut  :  And I… more
Toni  :  No, it’s him, it’s him, it’s him...
Carlos  :  Wait…
Thibaut  :  Hey look … it grabs the coins!
Grégoire  :  Oh no, there it is!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Carlos  :  Oh no no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Grégoire  :  Harrg…!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Thibaut  :  With shoes! Look is a hole below!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Grégoire  :  No… arris! Haaarrr!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Carlos  :  I’ll put it there… Like this.
Grégoire  :  No you cannot reach!
Thibaut  :  Look!
Grégoire  :  You cannot reach!
Carlos  :  Hey hey look … Ha!
Toni  :  Ha ha ha ha… Aaaah! Come By by! Ha hi hi hi hi …
Carlos  :  Now I’m going...

Toni  :  Goodbye… thank you… Very nice! Thank you!
Ištvan  :  it’s a nice video…

Thus early in the morning of the first opening at Artists Club Coffre Fort through a hole in the 

sole of Carlos Montalvo Dialogist-Kantor stole five euros from our beverage sales ‘in caso’.  

At that time for us a true jackpot that amounted to only 65 Euros despite a big audience attendance.

Just a bit more than four years later a large brick wall has been erected in the middle of our vault. 

A wall resembling Pyramus and Thisbe Mechanical’s play wall with a hole from Shakespeare’s’ Midsummer Night Dream. 

Toni and Carlos are coming back to their wall with holes or slits where lovers talk to fiddle with its openings and perform their stories. 

Maybe it will all end my young Athenians the same way Puck concludes the classic play; 

if you find ‘Le décolleté du maçon’ absurd, you need only to applaud and imagine the whole thing was just a dream.
