thought id update to say; i survived opening night!!! and not only that, it went REALLY fucking well, and people seemed to REALLY REALLY like it omfg... god this is so crazy
#i was literally holding the script in a bigass binder for almost the entire show (sparing only the parts where i had to BULLFIGHT)
#(bc i needed two hands -- one for the cape & one for the banderilla.)(yall i had to learn how to BULLFIGHT TANGO & SWORDFIGHT. in TWO DAYS)
#but the audience said afterwards it was like i wasnt even on-book; they hardly noticed it was there??!!
#yall this is my real life rn. im failing my classes but yknow what??
#i can pull it together enough to emergency understudy in a highly physical show 2 days before opening even with a script ive never SEEN
#and apparently we made people fucking CRY. HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT
#this playwright is just. incredible. the script is INSANE. BEAUTIFUL & CLEVER & HILARIOUS & TERRIFYING & VILE & TENDER & TECHNICALLY PERFECT
#and apparently our production is like. only the eighth time this show has EVER been produced. for real
#but god EVERYONE should know about this playwright's work. fuck i actually think tumblr would really love her. holy shit.
#maría irene fornés is her name -- she was a queer cuban-american playwright+director who made radical heartwrenching magical theatre
#im so grateful to be doing this & SO fucking sad for the original performer im covering for... god. bc this is just such lifechanging work
#this play is queer in EVERY sense. its off-putting loving repulsive peculiar passionate holy and GAY AS HELL. its real its farce its SO CAMP
#((IRENE & SUSAN SONTAG DATED. SONTAG AS IN 'NOTES ON ''CAMP''' SONTAG. ITS FUCKING GORGEOUS.))
#its gorgeous its gorey its glamourous its also literally the first part ive played that i think might truly fit my casting type exactly lmao
#which is INSANE. bc the character is literally just described in the script as ''ISIDORE: an androgynous clown'' LMFAO
#but honestly what could be more homoerotic than 2 ''men'' locked in a room together dancing tango+talking abt beetles+stabbing each other
#hmm. maybe its the fact that after i stab the other guy i call him ''saint sebastian'' and then we LITERAL ACTUAL GAY KISS
#which is crazy bc we only practiced that ONE TIME before opening
#and youd think this shit cant get Any Gayer BUT. IT DOES. bc my scene partner+the director are gay+together irl... and uhh.
#ive literally been their third. like. more than once.
#ISNT THAT FUCKING INSANE. THIS IS MY REAL LIFE?? THIS IS MY REAL LIFE
#ANYWAY
#so now im headed back out to rehearse more before we perform it again tonight lmao
#i hope it goes as well as it did last night
#that audience was fucking incredible i really hope the next two like it as much as they did🤞🤞 knocking on wood
#so. if u read this far. u should go find+read ''tango palace'' by maría irene fornés. mwah okay bye
