amphitheater
The amphitheater is a public intimacy machine that has consumed both cheers and screams since antiquity. Audiences, packed into inanimate stone seats, stare at the human drama unfolding in the center with a mixture of thrill and apathy. Celebrated as a symbol of democracy, it is in fact just a stage where people share the taste of each other’s blood. Rings of identical structure still arise around the world, where spectators shout their approval while plugging their ears to their neighbor’s agony. Ironically, humanity believes it can only achieve unity within this circular trap.
