 Hi, I'm Gabriella Lund with CalTV Entertainment and I'm with Leland Fernando the director of bare-stage production here to see So what is it like being a director and a Cal student managing and directing other Cal students? It's busy. That's the that's the first thing that comes to mind, but it's fun. We get together. We work well together They're all for the most part. They all work with the theater department here at Cal So we kind of have a similar language, which is nice as you know your DC is a Greek mythology. How much does your vision align with the original myth? Well, what's nice is that Sarah rules rendition of the the myth is more centered on the wife And it's about her journey when she gets sent to the underworld and how she reconnects with her father I know that the underworld isn't typically depicted Every day. What is it like to try to create this other world? Well in the stage directions that actually it actually says That the underworld should resemble more Alice in Wonderland than it does hell so what we've done here is try and Capture that I the essence of what it means to be stuck in a memory to be in limbo to be dealing with your grief and your depression And at the same time Show us glimmers of hope glimmers of play and glimmers of imagination So it isn't the underworld as we think of it. It's not ugly and hellish. Oh, yeah, that's a bit more playful It's the underworld of the imagination. Wow. Yeah, I love the way you just raised that What is it about the play that our audience is going to be able to relate to? We're hoping that people will come in and be able to Not in a cathartic sense More of a reflection sense come in and watch a character struggle with their own uncertainty struggle with their own cyclical grief Struggle with their own memories and then have an audience watch that and relate to that Well, I am so excited to see the play you definitely put it in such an incredible Frame that I hope that everyone can get a chance to come out and see it Make sure to check out your DC from November 11th to the 20th, and I'm signing off as Gabriella Lund Thank you so much for being with us today
