ya know i legitimately used to believe that theatre could save the world and maybe that was true for Boal in the 70s in Brazil but i look at the fuckin milquetoast liberal #resist jerkoff shows the people i knew in college are doing and it just makes me so fucking depressed
@pbandkate Art can do a lot, but these days I tend to think it's not so much the key to how we should fight as it is the key to why we should. Like, we should all be working for a world where everything is beautiful and efforts towards that beauty matter as much as any other effort. But yeah, I have very little hopes for the "at least we'll get good art out of the trump years" movement
@pbandkate Also, to be fair, the united states has never been good at resistance art.
@MordecaiPinhas yeah im just sick of seeing people pretend that their all (cis) female production of jesus christ superstar is gunna Smash The Patriarchy
@pbandkate Kate, think about it. What IF jesus was a woman?
@MordecaiPinhas (this is a real production that i saw i was genuinely surprised none of them were wearing pussy hats)
@pbandkate why wear a pussy hat when you can EMOTE a pussy hat
