CONTEMPLATING MADNESS - Note II

The "Inner moonlight" makes any curious and creative minds follow it down the labyrinths of their Horrors. It is a journey to self-illumination which need a bit of madness to happen.

This journey is a nonlinear one, as it has not a simple path straight to the end; it grows in root-like branches into different directions. It is a Rhizome as Gilles Deleuze puts it, "Rhizome resists the organizational structure of the root-tree system which charts causality along chronological lines and looks for the original source of 'things' and looks towards the pinnacle or conclusion of those 'things.' A rhizome, on the other hand, is characterized by 'ceaselessly established connections between semiotic chains, organizations of power, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences, and social struggles.' Rather than narrativize history".

In "The Book Of Illusions," Auster starts with a quotation from Fran?ois Chateaubriand: "Man has not one and the same life. He has many, and that is the cause of his Misery." In my version, instead of misery, I write Madness.

In the Screenplay "Don't Hide Your Madness" I tried to have a similar approach in the story structure; But now that the writing is finished and I'm up to make it happen on the screen, seems I'm going to have a very similar journey.
