There is no other word I can think of to express my emotion regarding last night's opening of Canden Mason/Big Art Group's latest work "SOS".

My interest in the show was peaked after seeing a very small excerpt at Wildness on Tuesday evening which was mentioned in the last post. After a brief discussion with Woods, we both decided it would be good idea to see this production. It did help that we were able to obtain discount admission - all thanks to Wildness. And you know how much I love a bargain!

From the minute it started right up until the end, I was reeling in amazement of this multimedia extravaganza. My senses were in complete overload. I couldn't help myself from studying the technical aspects of the production - from the usage of filtering the backgrounds to the placement of the black screens behind two of the performers. I was highly impressed with the way it was executed. I'm having a tough time putting the majority of my thoughts into words right now so I will end this paragraph saying that "SOS" is utterly genius.

Maybe you should just check out the YouTube clip here to see what I am talking about:



This is the type of work that always gets me inspired to create something of my own. I hope I will be able to conceive some kind of piece involving that hot mess Toxic Waist or her trailer park trash step-brother Gregg Ruled. I feel so motivated to do something outrageous. And lucky for me, I might be able to actually do something about it this weekend since Dragstrip66 is on Saturday night. Now that is realness.
