porque tiene pajarito y esta embarazado!!!!!

the play halcon de oro, qorihuaman was a play difficult to understand, but at the end it all became evident. the most important facts for the play, were light and sound effects and the body language. it started with one man painted white, he looked crazy, he was shirt-less, a broken military shorts, no shoes and had a bandage in one of his knees. all there was in the stage was a metallic bed and the man. the mimics were also important, there was a time, my favorite part (technique part), when he rolled through the wall, but the wall was imaginary, he was touching the air, but it looked as if it was real solid wall. the use of costumes and masks are very important too. this man represents three different characters, himself, his mother and an uccucu. as he represents his mother, he gets pregnant after the baby was born he is taken away from his mother. a mystic character, every time this mystic character appears, the man changes of character. after, the mystic character comes once again and leaves the costume of the uccucu. the man flips all his emotions and represents a jubilee,instead of the feeling of being lonely and abandoned. once again the mystic character comes when the man has become the first personality he had at the start of the play, ensaine, he is hanging from the celling with the bed. the mystic character gives him two white flags which he puts on the bed and makes the bed spin, he stands before the mystic character and this tells him something with the look, the play didnt contain any words, the man takes all his cloths off and naked just as god brought him to life he sat on the floor as the mystic character baths him with water and rose petals. this is a representation of pureness and cleaning of the soul. the mystic character goes through the imaginary wall, the one the man couldnt go through, and as the man follows it, he goes through. this means that because he is now clean and free of sin he is able to go through.
at the end of the play we talked about it and i realized that eventhough the play didnt have any words, it was very clear because of the actions and even more because of the music and light effects. the way in which the LSF tell the story without words is amazing. this proves that the LSF builld a very important atmosphere in order for the play to take place

one-act-play

i am in charge of scenery. Firt we had to think of the theme of the play, once we fought because of it for two hours, we came to the idea of the orphanage. After we decided the atmosphere would be freaky we had to think about the scenery. We knew we had little space, so we decided to build a 6 pieces. the closet, desk, arm chairs(2), the mirror and a stand to put pictures. Then we had to imagine the space we had and draw the furniture with all the measurements. I had to draw them accurately, with annotations and explain the drawings to the man who had to talk to the man who will do the things. After the things were made, i had to check they were ok, the armchairs were done wrong so i had to redesign them in order to make them again. The idea of the armchairs were that they were covered with fabrics. my mom was going to buy them, but i have to go to see the texture, thickness, color and design so that it matches the rest of the scenery. i have to go today and find different options and then choose.
