EL MITO - THE MYTH OF MY PAIN

NANCY T. HANSEN THEATRE, WEST LAFAYETTE, IN

The opening music, spiritual and hunting feeling, accompanied by the eerie lighting design, heralds the atmosphere of the monster approaching for hunting. It also incorporates percussion commonly used in Latin music, creates a feeling of darkness. With the final phrase at the end, the lights turn on, and the characters appear and lead the audience enter the play world.

The first time that the scene is drawn from the realistic set to the surreal. The music and soundscape is for the scene change when La Patasola appeared, included the sound symbols described in the myth stories, like water dripping and leaves rustling that people heard every time when La Patasola appeared
