I should get into a theatrical group, I think, so that I can have the human resources, so to speak, to carry out this idea. I'd love to be in a performance art group, to do many such things.
I'd like to stage a public forum, like in ancient Greece & Rome, maybe scripted, but likely improvisational... of people who look perfectly normal, who seem to be channeling a debate betweeen the Seelie & Unseelie courts. Men in suits shouting at each other about who shall have the right to choose the color to paint the flowers in the king's meadow. Women on their soapbox about the dreadful lack of lewdness in the songs of the swallows these days. Discussions on the rights of the Seelie to venture out at Night, the empire of the Unseelie... bringing up their use of fog-shrouded checkpoints and tattoo passports.
Not only would it be fun and ethereal and discordant... but maybe it would make observers think on why our society doesn't do forums anymore for important matters. If we can debate "nonsense", why not get together with our communities and discuss issues of political & social concern? Don't leave it up to the pundits & politicians to duke it out, w/out consulting the common people.
And I figured mundane dress over costumes, because costumes might make people dismiss it as just a play. The discordant note of normal clothes and normal people talking (w/out accents or overly flowery language), but using words/topics that don't fit... might jar them into thinking.
(First post here, BTW. I've been aware of glamor-bombing since the late 90's when I frequented the Lavendise message board.)
