The Hysterical Alphabet was a completely new experience to me. I've never seen anything like it before. The actual performance was probably the last thing I expected this show to be about. I loved how Terri Kapsalis took such a creative approach to make the audience aware of something. I loved the combination of a pre-edited media production with live narration and music. I can't really make comparisons with this, except with things we've seen in class because it was so unique. Some things that really stood out were the use of repetition at some parts, which reminded me of the wonder woman video we watched in class, and the montage of the moon waxing and waning. At one point, Terri's live narration matched up with a pre-recorded narration, and i remember not being able to tell them apart.
I would really love to know Terri's creative process throughout this entire production. Where her inspiration came from, how she got ideas for the film and photographs and music. The most interesting thing to me about this production is how inspiring it is. I love that Terri had this kind of off-the-wall idea for a production, and now several years later it's finally turned into her vision. (Or pretty close to it, i imagine.) I would love to attend more multi-media productions like this one in the future.
