bitter (gor’ko)

I have wedding dresses left over from a canceled project. What to do with them? A wedding dress is completely useless for a unique event, outside of that event. Useless, but not meaningless. There is a lot of meaning in such a thing, even too much. Putting it on, moving around in it is also quite a special experience — it's as far away from the clothes I normally wear as possible. I've never worn a wedding dress. I want to go into it very formally, try to work with it in the hall, in rehearsals and in open classes, to observe what the wedding dress is like.
