Livia cast us in her theatre – her philosophical theatre. Livia gave us our roles. We had our place in Livia’s production. Following Livia’s dramaturgy.
We were on Livia’s stage. Directed by Livia. Set-designed by Livia. Before the whole university – and Livia.
Livia’s psychodrama. Livia’s philosophical production. Something to amuse her. In the twilight of her academic years.
She gave herself a treat. We were her treat. And then she left us. She found better things to do. But that was part of the dramaturgy, too.
I think she liked the idea of us being in Organisational Management – in the future. She liked visualising it: us in Organisational Management meetings. Us in our own meetings, talking about Organisational Management things.
In the end, she’d directed the Organisational Management move theatre, too. She’d set designed the Organisational Management stage. Placed us all in our Organisational Management roles.
Wherever she is now, she’s enjoying it, Livia. She’s thinking of it. Whatever she’s doing, she’s thinking of us in our new situation. In this meeting, right here. In Organisational Management towers. Livia’s laughing at us, wherever she is. She’s enjoying our predicament. She enjoys the fact that you’re head of subject, Shiva. She enjoys the fact that Fiver’s the administrator. She likes the idea of Gazelle as head of the Board of Studies. That Furio is doing his Furio thing and Driss his Driss thing, right here on the Organisational Management campus. And that Io’s still some ultra-Christian. And Sophia is … whoever Sophia is. Livia’s enjoying thinking oft his, wherever she is. It’s all her doing.
