PAL is extracting itself from a concept that I have held in my mind since reading it in Douglas Adams’ book “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish”.
The physical Inside-out Outside-in that PAL is manifest me. While perform I am standing in the kitchen, a natural place for me. My audience four people at a time standing in an Australian backyard inside PAL. Total controlled, outside everything else, inside me a safe place for a story and a taste.
My strength and my surviving tool is to be out of the box thinker. I show it inside an Inside-out Outside-in structure.
Isn’t it wonderful?
In his deathless book “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish” Douglas Adams tell the story of: John Watson, also known Wonko the Sane.
Wonko the sane live with his wife Arcane Jill Watson in a place called the Outside of the Asylum.
In The Asylum a four-walled house turned inside out. That which one would be inclined to take as the door into the house opens into a lawn with benches and walking paths. This is the area that Watson calls Outside the Asylum. The inside of the asylum contains the entire world, save for that small area.
Within that small outside area, Watson has mounted the instructions for the toothpicks, in order to discourage himself and others from going back into the asylum.
“It seemed to me,' said Wonko the Sane, 'that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.”
“Hold stick near centre of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.”
