Alternity
Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern Are Dead
What is this play about?
Due to Tom Stoppards idea of taking two minor
characters of the Tragedy Hamlet by William Shakespeare and turning them into the protagonists of his
story we get to dive into a world of randomness and absurdity.
Within this
strange play I got to experience very interesting settings within theatrical
performances and scenes. Because of my knowledge and interest in fashion design
and art, the art within this production caught my attention. This play to me
was all about set ups, costumes and poetry.
The costumes
are wonderfully tailored with extravagant accessories and detail. With the
great sense of display the director really captures the scenes and the color
palette of the costumes in a unity and creates artwork within the film. The
absurdity of the story gives the entire spiel an avant-garde look and feel. It
is hard to explain what this play brings to my mind but I could see myself
creating an entire fashion line with the inspiring shots and mood boards it
portrays to me. I would take on the color palette, some design elements of the
existing garments and then turn them into a modernized collection by changing
the garment forms and incorporating one or two seasonal colors of the 21st
century.
As a
conclusion I would say, to me this play is about art and inspiration to
whatever the viewer would like to interpret into the scenes.
I liked how observant you are of this play. You seemed to pay attention to important details. I enjoyed the fact you explained how artistic this play was and it was about the characters expressing themselves. When I watched it, I found it was about love and hatred. It is interesting to see another peer's perspective. I also found your way of editing the piece to be very interesting as well.
