Embedded Files
A daring work of epic theatre in four acts, Bamejilabumus travels through four different types of story-telling, all tainted with aspects of Ancient Greek drama. A surrealist sequence precedes a melodramatic seminar precedes a Socratic trial precedes a simple and absurd closing. Heavily inspired by the book of Job. Function over style; moving parts over aesthetics. The beats of the story are included here. Fear not, they contain many secrets only those who've read can understand.
From the text of Bamejilabumus...
"B.L.: I wished to know him more...
why is Nantugget /
The place he visits? Is /
There not a worse-off /
Place? Does he mean to /
Frighten us? Does he /
Know that there are /
Bamejilabumus-fearing spirits who've /
kept the spirit with their /
Actions as much as they /
Can? Does he understand /
Why the down-trodden /
Among us take to their /
Destructions? Is there /
No empathy for their /
Shortcomings? Does /
The agent of Bamejilabumus /
Only see pictures of /
What we do here, like /
From some image search on /
The Internet? Can he /
Not see into the morning /
Back aches and nightly /
Remembrances of the good /
And bad occurring that day /
As our sore necks fall asleep? /
Does he not know humanity?"
