I vote for Dogs Pissing on Horses Legs myself, or how
about "Pissing at the Moon to Kill the Pain." 

Funnily enough, I, too, have been focused on Yul
Brunner's "practice stillness" these past few days. 
Profound couple of words...less truly IS more.

As for the daring part...isn't creative expression
through language (although theatre is MUCH more than
just language for me), aside from the mathematical
harmonies (with which I concur) REALLY all about
facing your fears?  His fears.  Her fears.  Our
collective fears as humanity? 

And the worst fear we each share is death.
Le petit morte.

Yes, putting aside conformity and daring to fuck
up...but perhaps more rightly...daring to expose
yourself, to become vulnerable against your animal
instincts to do otherwise - to lash out at humankind
in order to bring it (and yourself cathartically) into
submission...to perhaps show it's ugliness so that the
beauty can also be revealed and thereby, fully
appreciated ... to lash out at oneself in doing
so...to criticize ourselves, and thereby challenge
ourselves to grow and to change - to reach our own
potentials, whether it is 'good', or whether it is
'bad'.  All that there is within each of us - within
all of us?

THAT, for me, is how theatre and all art transforms
the world.

And if "Truth is beauty, and beauty is truth" (Keats),
from whence does the guage of what is considered
beautiful and what is considered ugly come?  Isn't the
horrific elements of our living existence also truth,
and therefore, beautiful?

Just my thoughts.  Sometimes you just gotta put them
out there...
