@kara_mitros@RockfordBooth The bashing is performative and full of straw men arguments. Reading through your history, you’re offended by whatever the far right tells you to be offended by today.
@andrelucas@UnderstanderArt I actually find it a pretty solid deconstruction. The right has seized upon this as if it’s some major reckoning - when in fact this type of reinterpretation and adaptation has happened for thousands of years - to say nothing of it being commonplace in theater
@kara_mitros@RockfordBooth No. You didn’t. But what you have, is a years long series of post from the far right, parroting whatever talking point was fed you today.
@kara_mitros@RockfordBooth So you were equally upset about Elektra by Strauss right? When a black man played Oedipus on stage? When Dido was played by a black woman? Right? You’ve always been mad and never stopped tweeting at all the thousands of adaptations made on your history, right?
@1611Willaim@SirBylHolte 2. If Nolan or anyone else wants to cast a white person as Shanga or Obatala, go for it. That’s what artistic license is. Only fascists police art.
@1611Willaim@SirBylHolte 1. We’ve been recasting myth and civilizational foundations for hundreds of years. Black people play Elektra on stage, Dido, Juliet, Asian sopranos have starred in Wagners Ring Cycle.
You’re just mad because a right wing blog told you to be mad
