Soooooooooo beautiful.

Also, I watched Rhinocéros (Ionesco) tonight at Zellerbach performed by Théâtre de la ville. Great play; the director added in a prologue that, according to the program, is from Ionesco's only novel Le Solitaire, which provided a nice sort of foreshadowing to the play's plot. And there was an awesome set design. As for the characters, well... some of them were different from what I imagined. So Bérenger was exactly the same, whereas I never quite thought of Jean as being so, um, touchy-feely or... harsh. I mean, his character, yeah, but I always got the impression that it was hidden under a really polite mask of gentility. And of course, that self-referencing quote from the first scene... "Connaissez-vous le théâtre d'avant-garde, dont on parle tant? Avez-vous vu les pièces de Ionesco?" Yeah yeah, je les connais, on les connaît bien, right? Hah. I really enjoyed Bérenger's monologue at the end though; you could feel the emotion... "Je suis le dernier homme, je le resterai jusqu'au bout! Je ne capitule pas!" Bon courage, monsieur.

man, PCN went by fast. I'm definitely going to miss going up to Berkeley to see people and perform with real musicians, hear real music and acting, witness true actors and dancers. Not too nervous, I don't get nervous what so ever. But we'll see how I am 60 minutes before showtime. Man, I am going to miss PCN so much, never have I felt like this before.

Bravo.
