stupid geog project. argh. i'm so sick of it. my group doesn't seem to find anything wrong with it.. but i think it totally sucks. the objectives are not even clear to begin with.

caught Anthology over the weekend and it was damn good! it's not like your usual play at all. from the moment we stepped into the theatre, it was dark with lighted candles and the actress was tinkling some eerie tune on the piano. we sat around the piano so it was very close to her. and soon she started singing godknowswat so it was waaaay creepy. plus the smell of incense kinda adds to all that scariness. and the great thing about it is you don't see the 'actress' as an actress and you really believe that she's this neurotic woman made so by the holocaust. it was that real. plus it was a rather interactive play so she was just like talking to the audience. and when the whole thing was over.. she was playing the piano and singing again, and she just said

"you can leave now... but go quietly cos my son is sleeping. go.."

So it ended on that creepy note. no one even applauded or what we all just left as instructed. haha coolness!

this must be the most fun and unique play i've been to. i was disappointed that the holocaust wasn't really talked about much though. oh well.. i wonder if Adolf was better. damn. should've gone for that too.

for some reason i'm really interested in the holocaust. guess you could call it morbid curiosity. i really love the movie The Pianist and Art Spiegelman's Maus. uhm. ok. i don't know what else to say. bye.
