The world?! Inspiring?! Peh!
Enough with the rational and into our subconcious – we’re going surreal today!
Tap into your dreams… and put them on stage.
I expect the unexpected. Or do I?
I want to see things that can not make sense.
I want hallucinatory experiences.
I want a distruption of conventional notions of form.
To quote the Guggenheim museum, I want you to “effect a revolution in everyday consciosness (sic) based on a critique of rationalist thought”
I mean, we live in pretty irrational times, don’t we?
Maybe you can use some of Andre Breton’s automatic writing techniques (but if you do – still make it into a play, you get me?)
Or just do some dream-remembering techniques and translate your nightmares onto the stage.
Now, I’m not encouraging heavy drinking, but if you happen to have some Absinthe laying about…
And here’s the trick – make it a fascinating piece of drama. Think not only of the visuals but also of the story.
Oh, and make the production huge. Try to make the budget sky rocket (maybe literally) – spend as much money as you can – but make the whole experience feel like a dream.
