We have been discussing many sides to theatre over the past few weeks, from the history of theatre, to feminism, black theatre, gay theatre, political theatre.
So far it seems I am drawn mostly to political theatre.
Most things involve politics, but on Tuesday I focused on Israel and Palestine , these current affairs are very sensitive . After watching a drama series called 'The Promise' it inspired me to question these current affairs. Our task was given with no story but to include a patriarch , a middle class citizen and a lower class citizen .
My idea was to show the argument between Israel and Palestine , though I admit I haven't all the knowledge with this terrible situation but I have enough to show a piece of theatre, we related the characters and made them connect , each side had a fair comment, each side shared the same experience and pain, and each side confessed that nothing could be done.
Trust is lost... That was the conclusion.
All in all I feel inspired to work on this piece and improve it.
