the rope: alittle bit about it

 i was going to call the rope, fairy tale or even more specifically, Rapunzel.  that is the feeling it gives me...of a dark fairy tale. well fairy tales are very dark but we are so used to them we have become immune to their dark secrets.but i liked the sound of THE ROPE.
this piece  is about a journey from one problem to another, one dilema to another, from pillar to post.
it is also an exploration of what it means to be naked 
and exposed, which was one of the things Franco and i touched on, in my one-to-one with him. 
that too is a kind of dilemma. on the one hand we have innocence on the other we have lust.
how can the body with its face made up, its civilized shoes on get itself about in the dark corridors of memory . following a thread/rope of thought.
on a deeper level i am wondering about dualism too.
.
the image of the rope etc and the foreboding sense of trying to get unlost would, i hope, be the strongest element of the piece, however one may look at it.
