Blog Assignment - Catasrophe
To be completely honest, both the play and the video of the play are completely confusing to me. I usually try to look for at least a little bit of meaning in things like this, but I could not find much of anything. That said, the video of the play did help me to at least understand it better. The text of it just seems to be meaningless and at first I thought it had something to do with a corpse they were positioning (though I have no clue as to why I thought this). It was only when I viewed the video that I realized that they were actually talking about a man. I could not actually glean much of anything from either, though. It seemed to me that it was a useless play that had almost nothing to do with anything. In fact, I felt like it was a slight waste of my time. The only comparison I could see between the film and the text was that the film made it slightly clearer to me. It was a really bizarre work of both writing and art, but I cannot say I enjoyed it at all. It left me wondering exactly where the playwright was going with it.

haha, agreed with the "waste of my time" part. I, too, found the play to be meaningless and honestly, I think that any attempt at ascertaining meaning would be reaching regardless of what you come up with. So don't feel bad. I didn't get it either ;)
