went for Magic Fundoshi with Huey, Elphia, leong, jolyne, dezhang!
they met up (except dz) at sketches, am v glad i was able to join them!
Fundoshi was explicit, yup.
but somehow i wasnt v affected, i dont know why.
maybe cos of my position as an audience, and view being half-blocked by the lady infront of me.
or isit my exposure in art to nudes and all?
i dunno, if this constitutes worry on some others' part.
well i agree that the nudity in the 3rd scene by Emma Yong was unneccessary.
the guys one... well, its funny la. but other than that, does it really serve a purpose besides being "true" to the original script?
is all these risque stuff for the sake of coming across as "liberal, open" arts culture, or really play a significant role in bringing out the messages in the plays?
these are kyogen plays, aka comedies, not serious stuff i know so they joke about sex in jap cultural perspective.
we may find it appalling, but also goes to show, how vastly diff is the jap way of thinking from us, with a fusion of cultures.
and what ivan heng said at the start really got me thinking.
" happy easter to all christians seated amongst us, im sure you wont have any guilt from watching our performance tonight!"
hmmmm.
