I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of The Hysterical Alphabet: A Multi-Media History. I thought seeing this performance after our last class project was very good timing. After our last class project, I definitely had more insight into the montage/video aspect of the performance.
The montage of the images from so many different sources really complimented each other. The relationships created between so many different images were really spectacular. I cannot even imagine how long it took to compile just the video part of this performance.
Although the video and sound of the performance were awesome- my favorite part was message and historical aspect of the performance. I found it was a fascinating commentary on gender and medicine. I hope that it exposed people who maybe weren’t previously concerned with gendered issues, to the importance and history of gendered issues. Because I was previously interested in gender studies- I found this performance captivating. I’m very glad I went to this performance and had this experience.
