Oedipus Rex..

My children, generations of the living
In the line of Kadmos, nursed at his ancient hearth:
In supplication, with your boughs and garlands?
The breath of incense rises from the city
With a sound of prayer and lamentation.

- The Origin of Oedipus the King

My children, latest born to Cadmus old,
Why sit ye here as suppliants, in your hands
Branches of olive filleted with wool?
What means this reek of incense everywhere,
And everywhere laments and litanies?

-has been told in a story-telling fashion

Passion..

Bold! Seductive! A mesmerizing experience! That is all I can tell you about ‘Passion’, a play that I have watched two days ago at KLpac. Passion is a dance drama, we never gifted a chance to hear any voice from the players. The story was told through the body language. The anger, passion, frustrated or happy, al of these feelings is shown through the body movements. From my understanding, the main character, a man was betrayed by her beloved one. His girlfriend is having a relationship with another man. His boyfriend watched their passionate with his bare eyes. So he was so frustrated, but one girl has opened his eyes that he can find another woman as he wanted it. Her disloyal girlfriend is having a relationship with another man, but at the same time, that man was also having relationship with another woman. It means that the man is having two women. At one point, the first man, I mean the main character is taking over his place. Both of the women want him. He was caught in the middle. He did not know which one to choose, finally he just let them go. Both of the women fell in love with each other. Here I can see they are actually bisexual. Both of them are frustrated in previous love. After all, they are having their own relationship.
