So I'm doing a giant paper on August Strindberg...and you're asking me, what in the ballyhoo does August Strindberg have to do with Tori??? Well, here it is: - ------------------------------------------------------------------ (From Comparative Drama: August Strindberg; Modernist in Spite of Himself, by Goran Stockenstrom, Summer 1992, pg. 80) It's a commentary on his A Dream Play... (I have to go read this play now...) "The discourse on God, man, and nature is brought to a dramatic conclusion through the three visions in Fingal's Cave. These are experienced and mediated in the diegetic or imaginary space by the audience much like the rapidly shifting images of the dream; while seemingly juxtaposed, they underscore the primary metaphysical discourse. In the first version the Poet sees THE GHOST SHIP OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, a representation of humanity's never ending suffering, innocent or not! As the waves of the great ocean rise and threaten the ship of humanity, the members of its crew call out in utter despair for salvation and sing the Christ Kyrie. Their Prayers are answered, Christ comes walking upon the waters of Creation, but modern men unable to comprehend the miracle of salvation are instead 'screaming with horror because they finally see their Savior.' Since humans are rooted now in the materialism of society and are alienated through a worldview founded on the modern scientific understanding of the cosmos, divine intervention is no longer an option. In consequence they reject the miracle of salvation and choose death through water instead of the white glow of the purifying fire that accompanies the savior." - ------------------------------------------- Tori and her obscure references. ya gotta love 'em. ;) - -kerriloo^ "...part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time... well i could drink a case of you darlin' and i would still be on my feet i would still be on my feet..." - -joni mitchell ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Apr 1998 23:10:24 -0500 From: A Faerie Subject: Spark Video on 120 Minutes The Spark video is playing right now as the first video on 120 minutes.
