在奥维德《变形记》的书写中,达佛涅为逃脱阿波罗的追求,向父亲河神珀纽斯祈求帮助,最终被变成了一棵月桂树。《阳台》将达佛涅的故事调动进入当下的世界,并虚构了假如她不曾向父亲求救,或者这”拯救”—成为植物—到来的太迟:“在时间的双重支流里,我将第二次变成一棵树”。《阳台》虚构了在她彻底变成植物之前的絮语。 在这个改写中,原本紧急的危机被无限延宕了(没有在暴力抵达身体之前完成拒绝),被困在这个无限拉长的危机时刻,暴力、忍耐与拒绝都被延长到好似循环的黄昏之中。

in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Daphne, in order to escape Apollo'spursuit praved to her father, the river god Pernus, for assistanceand was eventually transformed into a laurel tree. The Balconvplaces Daphne's story in the contemporary world and hypothesizeswhatever might have happened should she not have asked herfather for help or the salvation of becoming a plant have come tocate“lwill become a tree for the second time in the dual floods oftime.” This piece is her whispering monologue before transformingnto a plant. In this rewriting, the urgent crisis has been infinitelydelaved, and she never seems to finish rejecting her pursuer beforener body is ravaged. Trapped in this moment. all violence tolerancereiection seem to be put off within this never-ending twilight.
