Ritual Theatre: The Aborigine Creation Myth

The next group to perform their ritual was the Aborigine group. This myth seemed to possess more spiritual qualities than the other two. Different tribes of people definitely had diverse ideas as to how their worlds began. It was so interesting to see these ideas unfold in front of me through this performance. Although these tribes were probably years and miles apart, they still had that common experience of involving the audience in their rituals. Instead of just watching as one would do nowadays, or, since modern theatre was formed, I was able to participate and contribute towards the ritual in the center. Each of us in the audience played an active role in playing an instrument during the performance. After watching each other rehearse our creation myths, it was nice to see the final version of it, since we had a role in it, too.
Enjoy!
