Prompt #5

My freshman year of high school, I was lucky enough to be in my school's production of 'Titanic the Musical'. While reading about dark matter and hearing everyone's ideas and past recollections of it operated onstage, I thought of this musical. This huge and massive glacier clearly has the power behind this whole story. During our sinking and death scene, we didn't include any sort of large white glacier-looking barrier, or any sort of visual for the audience of the glacier. Instead, about 8 to 10 black blocks were placed on stage and we basically planked with floating-like movements while being soaked with deep blue lighting. About the whole second half of the show revolves around the aknowledgement of this approaching glacier and how the passengers and crew react to it. This glacier was a form of dark matter, not necessarily needed to be seen during the production. The audience was given more of a wide opportunity with their imagination. 

As far as productions and performance pieces centered around The Holocaust, I strongly believe that they should be as factual and true as they were. Such a horrific event as The Holocaust shouldn't be tampered with necessarily. I personally believe that it's like walking on thin ice. It's too much of a controversial event to not be as factual as possible.
