Saadeh and the orange shirt

I was in the theater tonight for a concert. It felt like being in the small theater in Fontainbleau almost 3 years ago. Memories of one winter evening came back to me; I was getting ready for my 30 seconds dance in front of a packed hall. I was not nervous, just curious. What to expect from a new audience?

It did not take more than a few beats for Saadeh to stand up and cheer like no one ever cheered for me. He was wearing an orange shirt, and from the stage I could see his blue eyes and smiling face. And boy did he cheer...

Tonight in the theater I thought of him. He passed away a year ago. These lines are for him.
