THE FLU SEASON

The Theater Department is presenting THE FLU SEASON this weekend.  It's a really interesting play in relation to Brechtian theater techniques that we talked about in class.  The play also has an interesting take on the failures, ambiguities, and power of spoken words, in the same many of these films deal with language or images.  Also, the play has an interesting reflexive commentary on the spectator's relationship to the play itself and a fascinating take on the idea of narrative decomposition or deconstruction akin to a film such as WEEKEND.

"A chronicle of love and no love, of interiors and exteriors, of weather, change, entry-level psychology, and time; but, oh, lo -- what chronicle isn't?"

The time is almost Winter at the Crossroads Psychiatric Retreat Center, and the Flu Season follows the budding romance of Man and Woman. Written by Will Eno, the play explores the themes of change, duality, language, and more in an evening of what can surely be considered a "wa...r of words' literal meanings and their contexts (of which there are many)."
