Fear, exhaustion, hallucination, crisis… Revisiting the cause ("Under Ice")… revisiting the past ("Waking the Witch")…
The human need to locate oneself… within (dis)order…
The survival instinct is trying to kick in, trying to surface through dreamwork - ‘Wake up! Pay Attention! Keep focussed. We can make the Night! Attend to the Light! Listen to me! Help me!’
But shock waves, weakness and disorientation plunge her into a Kafkaesque nightmare… internal schisms...
…Her Right to Survive is on trial…
…She faces the possible (machine-gun) firing squad of her own super-ego…
…Will she condemn herself?
…Will she sink or swim?
…Her biggest challenge yet!
Kate at her most terrifying!
(EXORCISM AND PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL?)
Kate Bush: "I think even though a lot of people say that the side is about someone drowning, it's much more about someone who's not drowning, and how they're there for the night in the water, being visited by their past, present and future to keep them awake, to keep them going through until the morning, until there, uh, there's hope."
