Their births involve a balanced merging of black arts as strange dice are rolled and initiates are invited to make random selections with life-altering consequences from a deck of sacred cards. The lives of temporary ensembles are intense, contingent, dripping with joyous risk and ugly beauty. They conclude with a sudden intake of breath that always already tastes of the moment after an end that already was. And then there is another.
