“I will always remember your melody!” That would be one of the quotes from the play
I would choose for the line on the poster.
This quote comes from the first part of the play when Orpheus says that
to Eurydice. The reason I picked that is because music seems to be a part of
the whole production. Orpheus creates
the music for Eurydice which helps tie the two of them together after Eurydice
dies. With the phrase “always remember,” it shows that the characters always
need to remember who they are and where they are. For example, when Eurydice crosses the river,
she forgets who she is, doesn’t realize where she is, or that the man who helps
her is her father. After some time and
with the help of her father, she begins to remember. This would give the production
a more light-hearted feel even though it has a lot to do with dead people. It would not be so morbid. As far as the poster goes, you could have a
picture of Eurydice’s head and the strands of her hair could be flowing out and
become the shapes of musical notes or some sort of instrument.
Another quote would be, “No one knocks at the door
of the dead! This was spoken by “The
Stones” who wondering who was knocking at the door. This quote is at the end of the second
movement and spoken by the stones. The reason I pick this one is because the
script has a lot of people either trying to get out of the underworld or trying
to get it. Eurydice is always trying to
get out and Orpheus is trying to get in.
Death is all around. This gives
the production a dark and eerie feel. It
could become more of a creepy horror movie.
A good poster for this would have a picture of a distressed door with a
person’s hand ready to knock on it. On the other side could be a dark place
with three sets of red glowing eyes peering around it.
I think that would be a great poster! It is very intriguing as well as eerie. The quote,"I will always remember your melody" is one of my favorites as well. I would love to see this quote on that poster. They don't necessarily go together but I think it would make it very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like the first poster idea, but it seems like it iterates a different line from the play when Orpheus tells Eurydice that he wants to make an orchestra of her hair that sends he flying in the sky. The second one is creepy, sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote, "I will always remember your melody." It highlights a lot of different aspects of the play. It brings focus to the love between Eurydice and Orpheus, the importance of music in the play, and the idea of memory that tends to show up throughout the play. It hits a lot of the main points of the play and for that it is a good choice for this quote to appear on the poster.
ReplyDeleteI also thought that "I will always remember your melody" was as cool choice for the poster. It very clearly foreshadows the plot of the play and is also very sad when you think about the ending. It also highlights the motif of music and by making it your tag line, it makes it more significant.
ReplyDelete"I will always remember your melody" would be awesome! I love how it ties the music theme into the poster. I also chose quotes having to do with memory and holding onto/letting go of what you love. Also, this play is a little dark and scary, so it makes sense that the poster would be too.
