Ari and Logan perform a lyrical monologue about casting Isabella and Francesco as romantic opposites in a play called The Midwood. The speaker describes being born for the role of being opposite to the beloved, weaving vivid imagery of gardens, medals, and stealing the moon to express longing and devotion.
In Opposite You, Isabella and Francesco have finally been cast as romantic opposites in the play The Midwood. We see figures in a garden who still await you and I. Isabella wants nothing, nothing will appease her. As she holds a haunting medal to her heart, the painter sees her. She desires her, he inspires him. So She steals the moon from on high. What a start. Simple, romantic. And I was born for the part, for to play opposite you. You could teach me all you know. I would go where you would lead me. We were born to make it so. We were born to fly. Fly, my beautiful call light. Just to be with you forever, heart and soul and flesh and bone. Yours until I die. In the music of another age, I was born to hear you. Born to stand beside you on a stage, ever to be near you. Will these Silhouettes turning their heads on the painted fence of the sky. Kindred hearts making the world something new, cast in the simplest of bars.
