It was a final assignment for the Drama Class, yet it should be shown to other than the class’s students, hence as an annual event.
The basketball court was chosen as the stage, and the audiences would comfortably watch from the “Gazebo”.
Most of the players are seniors. Long black cloak was their dress code, bare-footed, and white mask on their faces. They only acted and gestured, following a voice who dubbed their dialogue (of course, in English).
The Story
Persona, well according to my very own opinion, was a symbolic and deep in meaning. Started by a daughter who came home after a long time. She asked for her father forgiveness, and also faced her brother. She had a battle in her mind and heart. Similar to every person in this world, she got lost and met many people as “Anger”, “Envy”,”Sin”, etc. She was told to look for the “Wise” old man. And finally she knew that she was “loved”.
“You are loved”.
Backstage Bustles
There was also a mini play to open the main drama. It was performed by my friends in the same year of school. It titled “The Lost Child”. However, it would be in form of a parody. For example, you will find that who became the father was actually played by a girl, and who should be the mother was a boy! Moreover, you will also find Japanese girls in their kimonos!
Here, I had the opportunity to help them in make-up and costumes.
