Also, the victims learn to overcome their feelings of guilt, as well as their silent acceptance of daily abuse. The nine constitute a finely choreographed ensemble of sorrow, lifted above anguish by stylized motion and the repetition of verse. They are identical to a chorus from an ancient tragedy. Also, there were nine muses in antiquity. Originally, they were all goddesses of memory.
Choral performance is essentially communal.
Victims are equals in sorrow, and so close in experiences that they often speak in identical phrases or finish one another s sentences. Performance piece by Maureen May and Kathryn Moller, with Ginny Davis, Alyssa Graves, Karen Pittman and Lawrence Nass. Direction and choreography by Kathryn Moller. Performed by the Theatre Company of Fort Lewis College in the college theater. Upcoming performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
