So,
This is my second blog for "my production" of Ionesco's Rhinoceros. I spoke to my drama teacher about my vision or direction for the play is. I started off by aiming it at an Australian audience - modern city-living in Sydney, but I just couldn't develop the idea enough for it to make a statement. My teacher started giving examples of what I could do. He said:
- Nazi Germany
- Facebook
- Early Japan (fighting with samurai swords)
- Hippies verse conservatives
- Punks!
and etc...
He said 'movements' in the world, and then I started thinking, 'What about feminism?', or the sexual revolution? Or perhaps... maybe I could use a cult. About a week or two ago, I came across a Christian website. But it wasn't at all "Oh, you are just beautiful and God is awesome, you are awesome, life is just awesome, let's pray!" - it wasn't nice. It wasn't happy. And it wasn't encouraging. In fact it was almost the complete opposite. There was propaganda for war everywhere! They called the Vatican "whore-mungers" They numerously try to force their opinion onto the reader. And the typical "You're going to hell"
So now, I'm just going to see where my research takes me...
