Hysterical Alphabet

I found the Hysterical Alphabet performance quite confusing at first. I was not really sure what to expect when they started and found myself quickly lost in the performance. I especially liked how it was not just a showing of the clips with dialogue. The actual physical playing of the record player and the other instruments made the show something that was very alive. I recognized some of the film clips they showed such as The Last Laugh and Strike. The combining of the different media forms made the show very diverse. Though I'm still not really sure what the actual performance was about I found it very entertaining.
