Currently, I am still focused on my moment of Theatre. I have been looking at other examples to help me with how I could execute my moment of theatre. Currently, I think that I have been looking at the moment of theatre, as something that should be polished and perfect. I had forgotten that the demonstration was supposed to be more of a "work in progress".
Currently, I have found myself deciding on which monologue to use in my moment. I have an essay that includes excerpts of dialogues and the poetry they would use in Talchum.
Below is a poem for a monk:
Since there was no calendar in the mountains.
Unknown to me came the change of seasons.
When the flowers bloom.
It must be the spring season.
When the leaves on the trees grow.
It must be the summer season.
When the leaves of Paulownia fall.
it must be the autumn season.
When the snowflakes
Fall on the green pines and bamboos, It is no other than the winter season.
I, originally a libertine of the country.
Have been engaging in a hermit-like existence
In the mountains.
But when I hear the sound of music,
I lose my interest in prayer to Buddha.
With this elegant music
Shall I have some fun?
Although my hair is gray, My mind is still young.
However, I think I may continue using a monologue from Caucasian Chalk Circle, as that was the original direction that I planned to go in. Furthermore, I could not find a direct source for this monologue, making its origin ambiguous.
