NO SORROW CAFE



The No Sorrow CafĂ©, a place to drown one’s sorrows while contemplating the vagaries of life.  Pink roses symbolize partnerships but yellow roses stand for treachery and infidelity.  Is he contemplating an affair or has he been the unhappy recipient of the yellow rose?  Footsteps indicate directionality and these are leading out of the picture – exit stage right.  But does that mean the possibility of a return engagement?

MONKEY TALES



Female party animals are a bit more refined than their male counterparts.  The monkey is a symbol of passion unlike the raw sexuality of the fish.  Michelangelo’s Dying Slave has a monkey emerging from the unfinished marble at his feet, leading some to speculate that the figure is not dying at all but represents an enslaved passion.  Whatever -- the evening shows great promise.
