okay if im reaching here just ignore me but I just saw the hadestown proshot and . I had not seen the show before live or via bootleg and in the movie Hades wears a boot and walks with a cane (this is important i promise). Upon research the actor ruptured his achilles a week into rehearsals (ouch) but the production was able to make it work so he could still remain a part of the production

Anyway my point is that during the movie i just registered it as a part of his character. They’ve dressed it to match his costume, and none of his physical movement/blocking seems out of place, etc. And there’s a moment, just before Orpheus sings Epic III to Hades. He’s been beaten by the workers of the underworld and he steps to the fates (i think) to grab his guitar from them and Orpheus limps.

And then he sings to remind Hades, who if i remember right is sitting on a stool (perhaps also a difference from normal to accommodate his injury) about his love for Persephone and how its no different from how Orpheus feels for Eurydice. How similar Orpheus and Hades are!!! And it just really struck me. Hades sits on the stool and holds his cane and we listen to Orpheus sing about Hades love for Persephone and we see him come undone. We see the truth of a man who has gotten so caught up in the world around him and the thoughts in his head that it is eating away at him both mentally/spiritually and physically.

And Orpheus, like Hades, has been beaten down both physically and mentally. But we see him limp to his guitar and sing about love and justice. We see that he remains hopeful and undeterred. His light has not been dimmed.

It was just something in the movie/show that really struck me. Anyway hows your day going

The costuming choices in Hadestown regarding neckwear are just super interesting to me. The first notable division is the fact that the main characters all have some form of neckwear, and the ensemble, or chorus members, do not. However, it goes further than that. The female goddesses, (Persephone and the Muses) all wear black chokers. The mortals (Orpheus and Eurydice) both have bandanas. And the male gods (Hermes and Hades) both wear neckties— except Hades loses his necktie in Act 2. This is possibly to demonstrate the fact that he is meant to be viewed more as a man than a god in this part of the show, as he is called a man many more times in the second half of the show than in the first. In Act 2, Hades calls himself an old man on multiple occasions, and Orpheus compares Hades to himself, saying that he is also “a man, in love with a woman.” The Fates also warn that he may be viewed as a “heartless man”, as they sing about the conflict between his human feelings and kingly duties in Word to the Wise. The shift in lyrics and the change in costuming are reflections of each other.

All in all, the details of the neckwear and what they symbolize are just absolutely fascinating to me, and it’s yet another demonstration of how incredibly well thought-out this show truly is.

something i adore about hadestown is that it still meant something, y'know what i mean? like okay, no orpheus's song did not convince hades to give up his empire. hades' love for persephone isn't enough to deconstruct the machine he's built and has convinced himself that he needs in order to protect what he has. but he let them go. he saw the love eurydice and orpheus had for one another and it convinced him to let them try. orpheus may have turned around but they still walked, they almost made it. doubt set it but they were right there. that's further than anyone else can say. nobody else had made it that far. who's to say someone else can't make it a few steps further? persephone is able to leave the underworld and go home again when she needs to. spring has come again, if we're lucky autumn just might too. will this change be permanent? we don't know. but it's something. it doesn't knock down the wall but it's one brick out of it. and that means something. it wasn't all for nothing. it's a crack in the wall. there's a reason we keep singing this old song.

Posts that prove that despite about 300 thousand years of technological development, humanity at its core hasn't really changed all that much

[rabbitkinglune777]

by all means necessary.

[rabbitkinglune777]

also another meaning for this art: as a black person especially, I won't let anyone tell me to my face that we need to handle things "peacefully" we got our rights in the first place by physically fighting for it. I hope every other minority understands.

[rabbitkinglune777]

I wanna let you know I hesitated to criticize white libs but honestly this is my rent lowering gunshots for cowards.

[rabbitkinglune777]

before anyone else has a clearly ignorant opinion, the reason this quote is said is because libs have a history of not only being complicit in the oppression of minorities, but the reason Malcolm x said they are worse is not because he's hypocritical but because they lore minorities in with promises only to fail us miserably and prop themselves up more. it's a false promise. to be a better ally you stay committed to the voices.
