yo what dyou think that random glowing stick that lucheni picks up towards the beginning is about lol (also thank you soooo much for indirectly introducing me to elisabeth i've been obsessed)
Honestly I'm not really sure tbh but that's a good question! I've thought of it as like a balancing pole a tightrope walker has. I'm not great at this sort of analysis, but maybe then it could be because Elisabeth is at times walking a metaphorical tightrope between life and death, but then again it is not Elisabeth with it but Lucheni so I have no idea really. As to why it is glowing I can't think of anything other than it looks cool! If any one else has any thoughts I would love to hear! I don't think that many of the productions have the glow stick in, although the most well known ones do. Haha no worries, I actually stumbled upon it via a tumblr post myself and loved it, so it is cool I've managed to introduce someone in the same way!
