There is an wonderful water feature next to the theater. It is a basin with a drain at the bottom, and two jets of water stream into it at an angle, causing the water to swirl around as it goes down. It forms fluid geometric patterns in its center. Then the fountain is programed to pause and restart in a way that causes the water to swish from side to side as it spirals down. It drains all the way out in this pattern, and then fills up again. It reminded me of Sartre's assertion that the entire universe is constantly being pulled out of existence, as if sucked by a giant drain, and being reinvented by us all just as quickly as it disappears. Sometimes I think it feels like there's an imbalance in that, like there's a clog in the universe-drain, and Being gets backed up and crowds in on itself. And sometimes the drain works faster than the reinvention.
