Surreal theatre backstage The characters are personifications of astrological planets and alignments—metaphors. Uranus: rule-breaking, unexpected association, a lateral shift in reality. Neptune: the dissolution of boundaries, the merging of image and reality. Pluto: transformation, decay, and rebirth. Saturn: the framework, the form, the rule against which the impossible becomes perceptible. Venus retrograde: a re-evaluation of conventional standards of beauty; the swapping of the attractive and the repulsive. Mercury retrograde: loops of language, meaning, and logic, where a thought does not travel a straight path to the next. style: Goya, Bosch,
