one of my favorite short stories I read in high school was a story that was told from an alien perspective and they described humans as walking sacks of meat and how we communicated by flapping our meat together to make sounds and were controlled by 3 pounds of meat inside our odd exterior… and now here we are, at MeatGate2k15

The stage is a reflection of the self.

THE IMAGERY IS UNREAL.  

Also, I jokingly brought this up to one of my “theatre-can-be-anything-the-earth-is-art-look-at-the-pretty-dirt-I’m-high-during-lecture” profs, and she was so entranced that she asked me, “Hmmm, can we do Hamlet like that?”

That was a really good story. Read it for yourself: “They’re Made Out of Meat”, from the collection Bears Discover Fire and Other Stories, by Terry Bisson.

You magical dude. I’m going to read that story.

So magical I broke the link. Here’s a corrected one: They’re Made Out of Meat, by Terry Bisson. For reals this time.

The live-action short-film version by Stephen O’Regan is also highly recommended:

Enjoy!
