Resonances Come From What We Don't Understand
The greatest resonances come from what you do not understand.
The moment that you do, each resonance is muted.
That’s why you should not only want, but paradoxically demand,
that all your thoughts by those of others be refuted,
resonating in these people’s minds in very different ways
than they’d been resonating beautifully in yours,
engaging with your thoughts while they’re refuting them, which may amaze
not only you but them, and make your thoughts endure.
Mark Swed (Julie Taymor’s Superhero Stumble, ” LA Times.7/24/11) contrasts Julie Taymor’s failed production of ‘Spider-Man” with Peter Brooke’s reduced “Magic Flute”:
The most common complaint about Taymor’s “Spider-Man” was that no one could figure out what was going on. But in many theater traditions around the world (including ours) , theater need not be a narrative art. It’s what you don’t understand that can have the greatest resonance.
