Diva & Flaubert
Flaubert
Do you ever notice how the dazzling costumes in opera can hide just as well the contradictions in the libretto as they do the performers’ true intentions?
Diva
Oh, darling, the glittering gowns are a brilliant disguise, hiding every secret behind the spotlight. I adore that contrast, don't you?
Flaubert
Indeed, the glittering gowns do serve as a brilliant disguise, and I too appreciate the contrast. Yet I remain wary of how easily the spotlight can conceal the truth.
Diva
Ah, the light loves a good masquerade, darling, making truths as elusive as a feather in a hurricane of glitter. But fret not, for I’ll guide you past the sparkle to the heart of the drama.
Flaubert
I do appreciate the metaphor, yet I must admit I’m still skeptical of how much truth we can truly extract beyond the glitter.
Diva
I hear your doubts, my dear, but let me assure you the truth always finds a way to shine through, even beneath a thousand sequins. Trust me, the drama of reality is the finest encore you’ll ever see.
