the global soul



caught the global soul by theatreworks just now.... some of the audience started walking out midway. a handful of those who stayed on (including us) were so completely bewildered and confused by what was going on that we were frantically flipping through our equally abstract programme booklets looking for clues, even in the darkness of the theatre...

there were slow butoh movements, chinese operatic singing, narratives, some cool korean operatic singing, vigorous dancing, and interesting coloured lights on the walls... we read that it was something about travel - "time travel, travels in our imagination, travels in our heart, travels in our memory, travels to find the meaning of life, travel for business, travel for leisure..."..

our own minds did quite a bit of travelling midway through the show and never quite returned until curtains down...
