shumi shumi!

chuckle chuckle.soooooo.... shumi is going to see the vagina monologues tonight at uni. the show starts soon, but i'll be sure to make a post about it after i've returned. gxx is going tomorrow, so, hopefully, she'll make a post and then it'll be interesting to see how our responses compare/contrast. don't think you've seen it before, right gxx? i saw it once before...about 3 years ago. the first time i was introduced to them (the monologues) was a couple years before that. the first one that i was heard was 'the flood'. a girl in one of my classes read it aloud as part of her presentation on sexuality. i found it particularly poignant. and, i thought it was very courageous of her to read it in front of the class. and i remember seeing it performed...and feeling a bit disappointed. the performance was done comedically - and i don't think it's a particularly funny monologue. so, i preferred my classmates offering. but, so... yeah. i'm quite eager to see if i have any different reactions/feelings from it (the whole production) this time around. the one thing that i remember the most about last time around was that i felt uncomfortable. not b.c of the subject matter - although the 'rape' monologue is a tough one - but because of the performers/type of performance, i think. and, the audience. with a performance of this nature, if the audience isn't keen/mature/fun, it's just not sucessful.alright, i'm out the door!
