Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
But Maybe Not - Blog Posts
In a small patch of green space on Andry Street in New Orleans’ lower ninth ward, nine garden beds lie next to one another, each 6 feet by 9 feet, each the size of one standard solitary-confinement cell. Each garden bed grows a mix of herbs and flowers, among them pansies, stinging nettles, onions, mugwort. They are a mix of plants with medicinal properties and some that just bring pleasure to the eyes, and their growth is limited to the parts of the tiny space where a person would be free to move in a solitary cell, with space blocked off for where the furniture—nothing more than a bed and a toilet—would be. The plants in each garden are chosen by someone in solitary confinement and planted by a volunteer gardener on the outside.
The result is both symbolic and produces plants with tangible uses, says jackie sumell (who does not capitalize her name), who conceived the project; plants with healing properties will be redistributed to people who need them through what sumell calls a “prisoner’s apothecary.” The solitary beds are eventually overrun with plant life, a visual representation of a world without prisons, an idea that forms the project’s core mission.
Typically, a volunteer gardener on the outside will send a list of plants to an incarcerated gardener. The list provides plenty of options but is limited to what will thrive in the climate and season. They collaborate on a gardening plan and a calendar, often with a small floor plan filled in by the incarcerated gardener laying out the positioning of plants.

Elisabeth from Elisabeth das Musical is La Mort from Romeo et Juliette
reasoning?
In Wie Du, Elisabeth is talking to her father about how she wants to go and explore the world and have all sorta of adventures, and going to Verona seems like enough of an adventure to me.
in Elisabeth's sort of postmortem scene, we see her in a white dress, thin and long. La Mort's dress almost looks like it if it was that dress, torn into pieces.
And if Elisabeth is Death's lover/wife/SO post musical, that probably means she absorbs some of his power to be able to kiss people into death, hand them weapons, reveal herself at will.
Specifically, la Mort's muteness and only being a dancer- she will only dance in death's sight (wenn ich tanzen will), so whenever any Veronese peeps see their deaths coming, she reveals herself (or in moments of intense suffering for Comment Lui Dire). Specific to Comment though, Mort is taking Benvolio's suffering and physically moving and stringing him up by it, which totally recalls die Schatten Werden Langer blocking with Rudolf and Tod to me.
Elisabeth's hair is also totally long and fabulous enough for all those hairdos. Her choreo also often obscures her and her face, which is a bit of a callback to Elisabeth always hiding her face with a fan, but that might be a stretch.
