Bruno: The Duke was written in the space love leaves behind.
Disorientation becomes exposure, and exposure becomes entry into a performance already in motion.Bruno is wired to find order in other people’s chaos, which makes him the most useful instrument in a system that knows how to stage him. He is drawn in through queer desire, bound through chemical dependency, and dismantled through loyalty to the role he has been given. It gives language to coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and CPTSD before you have fully found the words for it yourself.
