Closeted with Mario all day: staging the Interdependence-Day gala and filmfest

texture · 7 Nov YDAU

When: 7 Nov YDAU (the Saturday before the Sunday-8-Nov I.-Day gala at which Mario's ONANtiad screens)
What: Leith's one dated act in the YDAU present, and the payoff of the mentorship in event 5: on the eve of Interdependence Day, "Mario is more or less the Incandenza family archivist ex officio. Mario has been closeted with Disney Leith all day preparing things for Sunday’s post-prandial gala and filmfest." The old production assistant and the founder's son run the logistics for the E.T.A. set-piece at which Mario's puppet-film is screened. Even here he is offstage — the fact reaches the reader through Hal's notice of Mario's absence, in an endnote.
