‘What pangs of hope we share for our exchange to turn to something we desire as a form of alleviation. “Fear of breakdown,” writes Donald Winnicott, “is the fear of a breakdown that has already been experienced.” Holding Winnicott’s insight close—unfinished, fragmentary, poetic—we return to our breaking, again-to-be-broken lines. We repeat the breaking of our turns and forms with the hope we might share our pangs again, respecting the proliferation of cycles—remembering all lives are the lives of the mind and need not ever be beautiful.’
An exclusive 2025 iteration of ‘Breaking Lines’, written in a dilating fugue by Autumn Royal and Lucy Van, will be restaged for DRIVEWAY at KINGS.
