4. The Jekyll & Hyde Story

Jekyll splits himself because he can’t live with his contradictions. Does anyone have an experience that they aren’t proud of, worthy of inventing a whole new person to avoid? 


I have a drunk personality that I wish I could bury.. One night, I had a bottle of chardonnay for dinner and was getting pretty happy, so I had a trumpet ice cream for dessert and then was starting to feel it. I could feel the ice cream churning in my stomach as I stood up walking toward the double doors and started power vomiting down the hallway. I began vomiting into my hand to try and catch it but it overflowed, then continued to vomit into the toilet and on the floor, then that clogged the toilet and I had to try unclog it. I made my way back through spew trail, cleaned the door and then after cleaning I went into the shower and had a shower in my clothes and began to cry. After cleaning myself up I went upstairs, got dressed and then went into town. I would split myself in two and stay the ‘responsible’ me so that I could avoid the ‘out-of-control’ me.What Have I done?

I did something i regret or maybe it was the best thing i’ve ever done.
It was an awful night
But i loved it.
I hate myself.
I want to do it again.

Who am I?, Why am I here?,

Do you think there is one drunk personality that we all kind of share?


We thought the story was heavy with lots of different things going on so we decided to pick this one line:

"...had a shower in my clothes and began to cry."

We liked how intense it was and really wanted to recreate that very intimate, private, enclosed feeling in our pavilion.
