Currently: @ Sitayana (Intermission Time)

First things first : PROFESSOR AGUAS YOUR KIDS ARE ADORABLE

Now that I've gotten that out of the way:

      The beginning of Sitayana was absolutely knowledgeable and entertaining. Right from the beginning, I was intrigued by the singing. I feel that it is awesome that all of the cast has learned these songs in a language that most probably don't know. Also, the beauty of the "wedding ceremony" was great. I found myself sitting and waiting for them to speak....but the fact that this play does not include verbal communication is actually what makes it special. The fact that these actors are not actually speaking strengthen the sense of community and "oneness". Noone has to worry about having the same "accent", speaking the same way, of any of those specificities. I feel like the language barrier is invisible and everyone in the play is the same, the crowd does not have a hard time trying to make connections between the way an actor and his character in the play. Also, I actually have to pay attention to body language and the backdrop, and in this case actions really do speak louder than words. The actors are passionate and play their roles really well. I love that there's the use of Asian and Indian characters in this play. It infuses cultures and also encourages the crowd to embraces other cultures as well. Favorite quote so far:

"For a happy marriage: ask your wife, ask her often"

Ugh, so beautiful! This play obviously enforces the meaning and beauty of familial ties. I was a little confused in the beginning regarding the situation with the three wishes and Kaikeyi, but I do get that Rama is in exile. Sita reminds me a little of myself...she is loving and gullible yet very strong. I love her relationship with Rama, a relationship in which she offers advice, loves him, and is not afraid to be a little mean! Well Rama stepped out of that circle protecting her from demons I was all "Ohh no girl, what are you doing!! You better step back in that circle cant you see its a trap?!" This play evokes all kinds of emotions from the audience and encourages the audience to participate verbally and passionately as well. I may not be able to finish this play because my work shift starts at 4...but hopefully I do!!

See you after the intermission, SexyRacy ;)
