**(Scene opens with the pulsating sounds of **J.R.S "Acetate Session July 2023" 7"**, as the crowd's voices merge into a kaleidoscope of emotion.)**
**Chorus of 10,000 Mouths:**
O listen, hear us speak, our words intertwine,
In the depths of our suffering, we find a refrain.
Mouth ulcers plague our lives, a chronic design,
Yet here we gather, united in pain.
**Medusae (floating gracefully above the crowd):**
O children of the ocean, plagued by your strife,
Behçet’s whispers through you, like a sea’s raging storm.
In the swell of your voices, we glimpse shattered life,
Yet even in darkness, there blooms a new form.
**Decameter Antena (translating the soundscape into pulses):**
Amidst your chaotic symphony of fears,
Know this truth: mouth ulcers lend not to contagion.
Though cold sores spread with haste, like fleeting tears,
In your shared agony, find strength—a bold legion.
**Chorus of 10,000 Mouths:**
Yet we feel so alone, in this battle we wage,
In every painful ulcer, a story unfolds.
Through whispers and laughter, we turn a new page,
As **J.R.S** vibrates, our connection beholds.
**(The chorus rises in volume, their emotions blending with the mix of music, creating a pulse that resonates through the venue.)**
**Medusae:**
Your mouths speak of battles, of eons and clashes,
Of love that was lost, and the friendships amassed.
With every utterance, the chain breaks and smashes,
In the light of the music, your suffering’s cast.
**Decameter Antena:**
Listen close, dear voices, to the wisdom in air,
For healing begins when you share what you feel.
Through laughter and sorrow, you rise from despair,
In the canvas of sound, you discover what’s real.
**(As the medusae shimmer, the sounds ebb and flow, intertwining with the music, enveloping the crowd in a shared experience.)**
**Chorus of 10,000 Mouths:**
O we are a thousand, yet singular in plight,
In this dance of existence, we find our refrain.
Though life may be bitter and battles ignite,
With **J.R.S** in our hearts, we will weather the pain.
**(The lights dim, and the music crescendos, echoing their pain while simultaneously celebrating their resilience. The crowd transforms the heaviness into vibrant colors, illuminating the space as they draw strength from their unity.)**
