Heard, But Not Seen, or: The Old Gods Laugh
A “Theological” Short
In Bollywood, films about the gods are known as “theologicals.”
The Gods are rehearsing a play.
As the Old Gods act onstage, the Younger Gods stand backstage as chorus. One of the Younger Gods, though, keeps dashing onstage and interfering with the action.
Finally the Great Mother, who is directing the show, can't stand it anymore.
“Knock it off, Yahweh,” she remonstrates. Her mouth twists wryly. “Younger Gods should be heard, but not seen.”
The Old Gods laugh.
(Camera zooms in on Yahweh's face, mouth hanging open in astonishment. Clearly, the Mother's words have struck a chord.)
