Martin Perestroika
My story about the name Martin is about one of my last relationship I had with a man. After I opted to take antidepressants, it killed my interest in it. I was ready to conclude my dance study at HfMT Cologne and was quite stressed.I had to mentally go through my pain from HIV and AIDS. During my time dating Martin, I began watching Tony Kushner's series Angels in America. I was particularly motivated by Joe and Luis' conversation at the beach in Part 2: Perestroika, Chapter 5: Beyond Nelly. The love scene line was also part of my final dance choreography for my diploma. It was a solo about the series in which I stripped off my clothes and laid the cloth as my body on the floor. It was intended to resemble a molting snake, and I utilized the image as a metaphor for painful change and progress. Martin and I had the practice of going into each other's apartments and cleaning up. I once cleaned his kitchen and saw a curious item hanging from the top that resembled a fly trap. I ripped it off and asked him what it was, and he was furious.
He informed me it was the molt shell of a snake he once had. It made me giggle because the location in the filthy student kitchen seemed really unusual. Martin and I were very competitive when it comes to grades at university. He spent a significant amount of time in the library while studying international law. When I phoned him, he always changed his tone since he didn't want his coworkers to know he was in a gay relationship. It appeared quite ambiguous and startling because it was the first relationship in which I felt a connection at eye level. What is your story about painful progress and the name Martin.
