VI. Conclusion

Here

We can not run from our problems forever, so much like comedy, we must adapt. We must be willing to look at our realities from above and take lessons from them to learn how to best support ourselves, but maybe more importantly, our communities.

At the end of Still We're Here, the audience just sits in silence with the characters. They share it. The grief, the absurdity, the exhaustion, the strange beauty of still being alive. They don't fix anything. They just stand there together in it.

Because none of it matters,

but we're still here.

And that, perhaps, is the point.

Coda

01
Comedy functions best when it walks the line between reality and existential. It gets us close enough to the existential "void" to feel it, but not close enough for us to fall in.
02
Comedy and Sadness are not opposites. They come from the same or similar pressures, but approached from different angles.
03
The world is as much of a character as any person. It should be able to behave accordingly.
04
The most important thing is the thing that goes unsaid.
05
Comedy is a tool of adaptation for both the characters and the audience.
