Holler! so today we went to watch the play GOLDEN HAWK which was rather a Cirque Du soleil performance. It was this incredible actions that told the story of bird? maybe? ..don't know. the thing is it as a mute play ..so no words rather than APU -------(quechua word).
Gudshi about play-oh:
1.- The guy-oh was painted blanc-oh. Good! it made me think of my independent project and how it would look to have painted actors on stage. It look kewel...and the thing is a realized personaly i like all the actors painted ( he had his plantadelpiei skin color). Now! why was he white? no idea... but it look cool so ..let him be.
2.- Flying bed! THAT WAS SOOO AWESOME! The images that the play had were great! the light and feathers! ah i liked it so much. Howeever i thought that maybe the same thing could've been used in a differente way (a differn situation for exampl) and it would have worked bettah.
3.-physical work- respiration, oppositions and body control. GUSHI. take that in mind gives strenghts as well as ...awes the audience.
4.- LIGHT-ah .- i tought for the first time that light was good-ah. Blue light = mistehriow. yellow light: ..well normal ligh? ...circle light= MY AMiX! light from above: holy thingy.
BADSHI about PLay:
1.- No words.ah: (noentendeeneemierdah) no words create confusion and makes audince understand the play as they want. Music in the background..didn't like. CHanges were to abrupt.
2.- Second Character: ..why would you use a second character (to create conflict?) if
he does nothing...he just...DOES nothing.
3.-Face: no like face. was to ...Nouba ish. THey reminded me of the four nouba guys of the cirque du soleil.
SO! refleXX(X)ions:
SO as the play went by, many things came up to my mind specially the VISUAL theatre that i like. So i know i say that it is more important the visual than the text. THat doesn't mean that text is not important. ok..so ..this play was Visualy GREAT but with no text and so the main idea wasn't delivered as clear como hubiese sido con texto. NOW.. what i also mean is that it whatever the text is it has to be visualy appealing. FINALLY, when you decide not to use texts and make the audience create it in his heads..the message is lost ..well sometimes and for some people. SO...is there plays that don't have a specific message? is it just ...actions to tell a story..which is not specifi either way?...so what is the diffrence between cirque du soleil and this play?
so here we come to the boundaries between different kinds of performance... a circus with a story is still a circus? a play without a story is still a play? do you think qorihuaman has no story behind it? having no story would make it less theatre? what makes theatre theatre and circus circus? is theatre less so if the story is not clear? what is important for a play like qorihuaman: to tell a story or to explore what happens when you tell a story (any story for that matter) in a certain way? or even: what kind of stories could come out of certain actions? what is important for an artist in the end: to tell a story or to explore his materials (actions in this case) and make them say what they don't usually say?
