Where the blood mixes a play by Kevin Loring about the struggles, trials and tribulations within the aboroginal community conquers the opinions of critics and challenges the audience minds. Although some may understand the meaning behind the production, it can also leave a question mark amongst the thoughts of many others.
This show had an intricate plot with subtle but, clever costume and settings . In return it made the play in my opinion much more worthwhile. The actors throughout watching 'Where The Blood Mixes" you can clearly tell was a good choice. They brought personality, and a sense of creativity to who they are portraying. The actor that played Mooch that goes by the name of Ben Cardinal you could tell was the best in drawing away from his normal self, because during the talk back I could easily tell that he was nothing like Mooch . For example, He wasnt whiny , and he didn't drag or extend his words; like a person that is whining does. To audience members watching, and analyzing the productions every move to guarantee they get there moneys worth; it authentically proved committment from his part. He was fuuny , and I believe that although the play did not mainly take place around him; he took the shine.
When talking about aggressive characters I think that would go to Floyd played by Bill Merasty. This attribute, owned up to the characteristics of this role. He was a angry,and discontent with the world; ever since his wife deceased. He feels that since shes gone, and since his daughter got taken away at a young age, he should give up all hope on life, and what it has to offer. But, throughout where the blood mixes, his personality shifts into a more happy life, once his daughter comes back, and addresses him .
The lighting was quite interesting , the main lighting was a faded lighting lighting , which is simple. Then came the intriguing lighting which was when, the director wanted to showcase the different symbols, and its relevance. All the lights would shut off, and a spotlight would shine on the background ;with a distinctive symbolization. The lights definetly set the scene, and the mood . The lights were low, and solemn to show the fact that the play was very sad. When it came down to makeup, and realism this play did that. There was no make -up and no big setting, but just genuine, and in the moment acting which I adored. Not only was there simple makeup, but there was manageable costume also.
The music was rendered in a unique manner; which in return left me compelled. In my opinion the musc through out the show reminded me of a musical. Although many would argue, my opinion differs from theirs. The music was not the catchy pop music a musical plays ; but the constant flow of acoustic flare and instrumental add-ins set that tone. The music was played to the viewers from a corner of the stage on a guitar. It which for the bar scenes they made it seem like it was a live performance, but then the all the others were depicted as ambiance music.
This pleasant creation in all honor, and glory deserves the governor general award that it recieved.
