Agens

Friday night when we arrived we had the option of seeing a modern opera. It was in the art museum we visited Sunday, and was very strange, but again, I liked it.

Opera Poster.
The male singers wore these crazy costumes made out of styrofoam packing material. They were also wearing traditional slippers for Japanese Noe Opera, which are basically flip flops on a foot tall platform. Their faces and hair were all painted white.




Final curtain call. The opera was very unusual. It mixed Italian, German, Latin, and Hungarian with all different styles of music. The second scene consisted of the woman with the red hair taking her top off and proceeding to make out with a young man and woman, both only wearing briefs. Some people thought it was about desperation, others thought it was about menopause. I think they're one in the same.

Damn Zoe, you're artsy-fartsy. Maybe the play was about how self-expression is overrated and people are better off playing with frisbees in the park. Eh? You ever think about that little Ms. Europa?
