Camila Diaz Varela - Thought #9 - Stories I've Told You

Hi! This is Camila and this is my ninth thought.   Today I'm thinking about, I don't know, the stories we tell each other. The stories we tell each other casually. I think theatre is so beautiful as a way to highlight stories and bring them into a (sometimes literal) spotlight, but there's always these mini stories we tell each other right? You know? About what happened in our day or something we heard, and I find those endlessly fascinating.    And I guess a source of a lot of interesting times and fascination for me is this garden in the Citadel Theatre building. It's this humid conservatory of tropical plants and I'm like "what is this doing in the middle of this theatre?". And I've heard some stories. Like it's actually a public park and the guy who built the McLab Theatre - this big theatre, this thrust theatre - just put it in there. That the plants come from the Muttart Conservatory. That there are cockroaches. But also it's so beautiful. Yeah. Just a bunch of stories hanging around the leaves of that place.
