Dali
Even so The Divine Dali already called into question the U.N.
by suggesting during the May revolution that the place be
turned into a whorehouse.
As it's obvious that it's a place solely dedicated to the night,
I proposed this startling innovation:
that the U.N. be turned into a pleasure spot.
It's also necessary to remind you
that during the time of Louis XIV*
Ledoux, the greatest architect of the period
had designed a pleasure palace
- that is sometimes referred to most vulgarly as a whorehouse -
in the shape of a phallus
in which the concierge, I believe,
lived in one of the testicles.
The plans exist
and Ledoux, who was a magnificent architect,
was somehow stopped
by the bourgeoism nascent in the French Revolution;
what else was the French Revolution but
the transformation of the aristocracy into the bourgeoisie.
It was the apotheosis of bourgeois culture.
And thanks to Marilyn Monroe and Mao
there might be new monarchies
with anarchic ferment.
Reciter
On a stylized set
placed in the middle of an incredible
brouhaha there is a choir, ballet
dancers and Dali, who is painting a
dominical scene
while Gala goes up and down in an
elevator without stopping.
*In actuality, Ledoux worked during the reign of Louis XV.
