The
Training of Camille - Session 1 - Page 18

JJ's
revelation continues |
I was done
doing the study of Camille's body in
pain. It was time to proceed with the
next step. I backed up a little, obtaining
a larger view of Camille. The room wasn't
big enough to go as far as it was needed
to get her whole body. I went as fas
as possible, slowly, observing Camille
through the lens.
She was truly hanging from her cross.
Margot was curious about his fascination
with the cross. The first time she brought
it up was the very first time we were
in bed together. After I met her in
the disco boat floating over the Tisza
river in Szeged, I invited her to join
me at the staging of Jesus Christ Superstar.
She knew about it, of course, as a matter
of fact, she said, she was working there
giving away the programs. |

Margot came that evening
to the Dom, where the rock opera was
performed, started watching but we left
early on, we went to where I was staying,
at the school dorm where all the cast
and crew of the rock opera was staying.
I was part of the crew as a guest advisor.
We went to the school, a few blocks
from the Dom Ter
We went straight to bed. She was naked
on top of me, I held her wrists together
and held her up, almost hanging over
my body. The rock opera was in full
force and we could hear it clearly.
Mary was singing, in Hungarian, "I
don't know how to love him".
Margot, looking down, her body stretched
over mine, as if floating over me. "I'm
hanging like Christ" she said but
in Italian, she didn't speak English
then and we communicated in a mix of
Italian and Spanish. "No",
I said to her opening up her arms to
form a cross. She was hanging over me,
her arms wide open, Chrit like. "Now
you are like Christ" I said. Our
future together was sealed at that moment.
Even if it took two years before we
saw each other again. |

Now Camille was hanging
like Christ. Was our future being sealed
as well? A lot happened between Margot
and I since that time. A few days after
our encounter I was going back to New
York and she was going to Italy to study,
she had a scholarship to study Italian
Literature.
We took the train together from Szeged
to Budapest and we parted ways. A day
so painful that I could not stop crying.
I was saying good bye to what I felt
at that moment was the true love of
my life. I was 35, she was 21, I was
married, she was going to Italy to study
surrounded by packs of horny, dark and
handsome Italians, hungry for a beautiful,
blond, blued eyed hungarian girl.
I was sure I was never going to see
her again. I saw the train to Italy
leave the Budapes station, she was waving
from the window while her friends were
urging me to join them. I was tempted.
But no, I had to go back to New York,
back to my work on the Haitian film,
back to my kid, my wife and my yorkshire
terrier. |

Margot was downstairs
now, doing who knows what, while listening
Camille moan while hanging from her
cross. Listening to the loud crashing
sounds of the rod hitting Camille's
skin. Margot knew the routine and was
probably laughing inside. She knew me
very well, as I knew her. When we met,
after our love making in the school
dorm in Szeged, we went back to the
rock opera to join the cast and crew
for the party after the show.
We were having dinner surrounded by
the dancers, singers and musicians,
some of whom were my friends, specially
Peter, who I met in Cuba a year before,
not dreaming that he would invite me
to be part of the rock opera and thus
change my life. During that dinner I
had someone who could actually translate
everything Margot had to say to me.
I learned then that she was born on
October 7. The same day I was born.
We were soul twins. |
