...well, not literally
Another meeting (another near miss by a few minutes of delays--see yesterday), a few classes, another meeting and then a dash across town to see a student perform in a production of Snow White. Not hard to guess what was the most exciting part of the day...
The theatre group is called 'tremendous circus', all the actors and production staff are young people and they take -- how can I describe this -- a gothic, anime, grunge approach to re-interpreting traditional fairy tales, stripping them back to their origins and building in an overlay of contemporary Japanese social issues...

...worth seeing? Most definitely. This was my second visit, this time it was Snow White...but not as you've ever seen it before. Unfortunately but understandably, no photos allowed during the production, but gee, I'd like to be let loose with the big cam one day. Fantastic.
