The fun thing about living with a theatre major is that I get to be the rubber duck for art projects and literary analysis. This is great because I love literary analysis but don't get to take lit. classes anymore.

#notice how i did not say english classes. because i can take lit classes in two languages!#and i have #i have taken two in college and one was in spanish #it was a great time #now i can get annoyed at bad english translations of lorca's plays #bodas de sangre just hits different than 'blood wedding' okay #i saw a couple presentations by the theatre majors (not my theatre major) about costume design for it and it was so.#i can tell you read this in english and the mediocre translation detracted from the experience #it's missing so many CULTURAL BITS! like no that literal translation does NOT capture the vibe!#anyways today i got a crash course on Brecktian theatre and 'Mother Courage and Her Children' so that was entertaining #and fucked up. that is a very fucked up play. intentionally of course it's an antiwar commentary.#and breckt has weird ideas about theatre in general #hylian rambles #college life #why you may be wondering do i spell it theatre? because my sibling the theatre major told me that's how they do it. i don't remember why.#theater is like for a move theater theatre is for like the art form. or something. don't quote me on that.
