PUSHING PULLING DOORS – BOOHEMA BOOHENE (16/02/2015)
Our Notion Works presents to us Pushing Pulling Doors. This visual piece consists of singing and poetry to tell an emotional and traumatic story told by a young female, to reveal her deepest, and darkest secret to her partner.
As the opening scene begins, the story is told in a dark setting, where the only light that appears is focused on the two characters. This cinematic effect, really brings out the life of the story to the audience, and makes them aware that there is pain and anguish in the atmosphere. The young lady starts her story with a melody that is repeated throughout the piece. As she starts her tone and pace is near enough silent, and as she continues her voice gets louder and starts to race, this really reflects how broken she is internally by being sexually abused by her father.
Although it's hard for the female character to express her feelings to her boyfriend, we see a beautiful connection between the two, as he replies to her in a charming, reassuring poetic way. Through the male character we are able to get more of an insight into each emotion of the female that has been abused, and he does his best to let her know that they can move on together and hurting her wont be an option, as her pain is his. For me personally this was very touching as it is difficult to walk in someone's shoes especially if they are of the opposite gender. However love breaks those barriers in this story, and demonstrates that you don't have to face your fears alone.
It appears to me that there are a sequence of The messages that are being portrayed in this piece. The first being that we human's have the ability to move on from any negative experience we may have faced in life. The second is that we need to learn how to be open with our loved ones about issues that worry us. Thirdly the importance of love and trust in a relationship.
Overall this is a very unique and successful piece, as the combination of singing and poetry compliments each other so dearly. It is not something you normally see and I definitely would like to see more of this type of work being published.
