Description
abstractSynopsis:
A Memorandum of Disease is adapted from Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet. The director Baboo surprisingly told us that this play was a work at the expense of his body! The original idea came from his personal experience of getting sick two years ago. Only when one got sick could one feel the presence of his body. Hence, the play was named A Memorandum of Disease. All kinds of feelings of pains and drowsiness were presented on stage through the actors' body movements. The actors clashed, trembled, fell down, and twisted their bodies on a slope placed on stage. After two month's rehearsal, bruises were found on all actor' bodies. This could help them really understand "disease". On the stage, six actors, like schizophrenics, acted six embodiments of Pessoa. On a collapsed boxing stadium, they threw their bodies to create bounding sounds, symbolizing the agony and frenzy of Pessoa's words. Pessoa says, "like neurosis, it suddenly attacked without warning". What the audience saw was self-analyzing of the sentimental Pessoa. He sometimes talked to himself and sometimes interrogated himself, scrutinizing questions about existence. Witnessing this poet's self-reflections, will we resort to our own lives? In those long nights, We write about loneliness in fragmented notes to examine the meaning of existence in real life.
