Divine Comedy 2010
Orgy
Director: Wiktor Rubin
It is not a tale of the body, the pleasure, and the delight, but a theatre study of Power. The monotonous and systematic chain of cruelty and violence that a man and a woman deal to each other is meant to illustrate the principle of supremacy over another human. Violence is the essence of power. In this play, Wiktor Rubin changes the foundations of his directing style, leaving the collages of alterations and formulas aside. He provokes a performance that should disrupt the spectators’ sense of security, and test the mechanisms of linguistic, carnal, and situational enthrallment. We do not understand what Power is until we are wronged, until we have realised how hurt we have been. Thus, every action of the two actors within the space of the play must be aimed not only against each other but also against the spectators. The reactions of the onlookers are filmed and shown on screens; actors take away women’s handbags and comment upon their contents; they search the men, and lock some in boxes on stage, forcing them into mock sexual intercourses. Eroticism becomes lined with fear, intimacy is exposed to the public eye. The Gdańsk staging evokes powerful emotions in an experiment that may be rejected, yet in which one may also get lost.

American White Pelicans - it seems that the one on the right is saying "howdy" to the one on the left?!
I think comedy, and by extension comedy clubs, is the best thing in life.
Nothing else can have such an effect on people, causing some to go from their saddest state ever to their happiest... or the reverse possibly ;)
But one of the great benefits of comedy is a look into culture and how certain people live.
I think when tourists visit a country that is not their own, that if they don't have the time to talk to a mass amount of residents to become one with their new city, that paying to see a comedy show should be mandatory. Nothing else can introduce a tourist into another's culture quite like a comedy club can.
And that's what Sonia and I did.
I had never been to the UK before a few weeks ago, and Sonia had only been there a few weeks herself when I got there. While she and I both had been talking to a few British on our own time, there's no way we could've grasped the culture as quickly as when went to the show -- it was probably my greatest experience in the whole trip.
Everything that we already had learned over those four days were regurgitated quite hilariously, and we learned oh so much more about the British psyche. Their uptightness, their semi-racism, their attitude towards the government... it was all too enlightening!
And because we went to the midnight show (9 pounds) that got out at around 2 or 3 in the morning when the Tube is closed, we got to take the bus back to our hotel... and, if it's possible, the buses were better organized than the subways.... That city was awesome :D

Chap walking with his two dogs across the artwork known as "The Comedy Carpet".
Created by artist Gordon Young, the carpet is situated opposite Blackpool Tower and is a celebration of comedy, referring to the work of more than 1000 comedians and comedy writers giving a visual form to jokes, songs and catchphrases.

A mask that I bought in the Castello district in Venice. The store where I bought it had a small workshop nearby where you could see the masks being made.
The shot was made with a Pentacon 50mm and a short macro ring (don't remember the size). Great lens, though best results are stepped down to 5,6 or further.
