Message from Director
Box 3 The Box of Animals (Part 1)
This is my burrow
This is my home
I live here all my life
With the gift of making tunnels underground
I am only a parasite instead of pioneer
This is my burrow
This is my home
I lives here all my life
I moves to and fro underground as a penalty
I am afraid of my enemies but I am hungry
What annoys me is
The noises, I am afraid
I look for the sources of those noises
It takes me most of my life to keep the earth tranquil
Yet, I am gentle
I am also patient
This is my burrow
This is my home
I will live all my life here
God makes my life a joke – I work hard all my life
with one enemy short
Perhaps, my enemy is building his kingdom in another space
Perhaps, we have passed by each other in my burrow
This is my burrow
This is my home
I live here all my life
My castle could be too strong…
This is a burrow that I have spent 2000 years of solitude to construct.
Text inspired by Kafka’s The Burrow
