The-Invention-of-Acting

We're running out of wine and the sun is going down, but you best believe we are coming back to watch some more of these "actors" tomorrow. I hope this style of performance sticks, it's been a very fun day and kind of a revolutionary change of pace.

Just watched a play where women rose to power? It was pretty funny but I'm sure this won't ever really be relevant to the world again. Andrew left a while ago after getting hit with more nuts, this time from more Satyr's. I'm just in awe of these new performances, it's so refreshing and looking at the crowd next to me is so fun because we all just can't stop laughing!

Me at first when they started making fun of people in power vs Me now because it's incredibly enjoyable and they're just actors so it has to be ok. Certainly no one will be able to prevent us from doing this forever!

These characters are super relatable! Just a bunch of drunk horse men cracking jokes! Wait, something else is happening now... Zeus is throwing nuts at us! One of the nuts hit Andrew in the face! How is this happening? I didn't know it was possible to make fun of such a powerful figure in our culture... and I didn't think I'd find it so funny! I can't get enough of this stuff!

I'm already infatuated with this. I feel like there's no going back to the way I watched these performances before. I'm so much more involved in this story. They're using masks! It's like there's a million different people up on that stage right now. A horse dude just walked onto the stage... OH MY GODS THIS GUY IS HILARIOUS!!!

My genuine reaction to seeing this dude Thespis step out and be in the story.

So there I was, sitting with Andrew and Cephalus, drinking my goblet of wine in honor of Dionysus out by the Epidarius, as per usual this time of year. We were listening to some glorious bangers, when all of a sudden someone stepped out from the chorus..? And he was IN THE SHOW. He was the character in the show. How is this possible? Is this his story? I need to process this...
