I want to share the experience of dramatic courses occurring in the April 12. The programs for 2 days aims to cultivate new actors into theatre. Of course, how to create your scripts containing your new ideas and concept is important, so the lecturer from National Taiwan University gave us the big idea that we will perform in September: 52-HZ whale. The loneliest whale can’t communicate with others because its frequency (52 HZ) isn’t perceived by others. Its language, thought and affect are bitterly confined. The teacher just asked us how feeling when you perceive loneliness? or what thing mind you the sense of loneliness? it is so excited that he gave us only 30 minutes to design the shows limited in 8-10 minutes. Throughout the excited experiences, I am glad to see how other classmates majoring in dramatic department act the short performance. One of the team surprised me a lot as three people stood on the high box, wave their hands and ask several unrelated questions like “ Hey! What are you doing”, “How’s weather there?” and “Do you lock the windows?” However, they cannot listen the questions each other. I feel they live in a separated world: people see each other, but the voice from their mind is isolated from otter space, which make us wonder how to solve the plight? They shout, signal, and even move the boxes but still in vain. Finally, one of them take a bottle with a piece of letter, throw to others and read the letter. With pleasurable faces, they rise their voice simultaneously “I am doing my works” “it’s sunny” “Yes, I do.”

    After viewing whole performance, I realize loneliness for everyone represents different things. In the classroom, one of the girls told us her parents always leave her alone. Others tell that he feels lonely when his beloved does not realize him. The feeling maybe represents infinite darkness, desperation, and even death. On the contrast, for me, leaving alone is a double sword. I used to have no idea how to avoid the cons side that loneliness generates to me. NO one will realize your thoughts in despite of being in a large group of friends, soul mates are neither. The only one can realize yourself is you. But it isn’t mean people don’t need to develop their symphony while knowing the fact that people born as alone. Honestly caring for my friends out of my mind helps me realize their thoughts, values, and talents. Maybe my friends haven’t been conscious about these characteristics unless I tell them. How to know you and me actually is beneficial behavior for each other. The enlightens from the performances inspire me write a poet:

 

You are red.

In the eyes of audiences, you are madness.

You are blue.

In the eyes of friends, you are sadness.

You are green.

In the eyes of families, you are peace.

Who knows?

In the eyes of all-knowing He

You are rainbows.

 

Maybe I am 52.3 HZ, but we are 52-HZ when we are together.
