Play: Great Hymn of Thanksgiving / Conversation Storm

"THE...UHH..."

I was working the cafe when Amanda and Ted, independently of each other, told me that I had to see Great Hymn / Conversation. Both Ted and Amanda told me different reasons for loving it. So, of course I'm pumped up.

The show exceeded what pumped up expectations I already had.

Great Hymn of Thanksgiving is a heady symphony of industrial noise. It will shake you, take your breath away, and send chills up your spine...for better or for worse (two rows in front of me, I watched a woman, who was enjoying the show, but shuddering every time a fork was used to make a certain noise). This was the show that Ted had to tell me about.

Conversation Storm is a rapid fire exploration / demonstration of the way torture can be rationalized. With allusions (not FA-llujians..har har, I kill me...) to WTC (1993) and Abu Ghraib, this linear / non-linear flurry was the perfect thing to see just days before the anniversary of 9/11.

Great Hymn of Thanksgiving / Conversation Storm is the one of the most exhilirating experiences you can treat yourself to. At the end of the show, composer Rick Burkhardt walked out and said "If you like this show...well, I don't know if 'like' is the appropriate word..."

I *loved* it. Agree with Mia. Brilliant.

The begining brings an interseting piece over a table where the 3 create an odd but facinating musical and perfectly timed piece overpowering the voices and discussion. it then progresses to the second piece where the 3 are involved in discussion over the dinner table taking the topic of torture based on a scenario to its extreme, all the time moving backwards and forwards in timeline of the evening.

Well worth seeing but not for the kids.
