The Waves - Virginia Woolf

The Duke Theatre http://duke.new42.org/events.cfm

the waves --- push and pull, up and down, appear and disappear, exhale an inhale..
u never being as youself speaking your own words
words from ones' mind, speak through the others' mouth
u are just a reflective image on mirror
happenings from ones' body, but sound generated by others
u are just the picture seen from a long distance


but after all, where is the writer? where is the writing, the wavy mind and body, her voice?
-- behind the conclusive backgroud projection (a video) of all the real time acting, reading, site-setting, sound-making and camcordering, i miss the writer.

-- a very sophisticated performance in terms of the skills and technical manipulation. But as a whole, it doesnt really grab u into the deep soul of The Waves.
