The ordinary journey of Mr Odd

Last night I was treated to a performance by Mood Theatre, of a play written by Josef Hewber.

As the programme says this show tells the "tale of the workings of the human mind, where various imaginary character roles are played out in a person's imagination, presented as action, sound, colour, dialogue and song", and after journeying through Josef's story "ends with encouraging the audience to seek their own inner uniqueness and to express it to the world."

The simplicity of this tale makes it very accessible and it is easy to see how it mirrors the reality of a 'modern life-style'. It is then what your own mind adds to it, in the silence between the elements of performance, which leads one to reflect deeply and find both compassion and hope in our current 'human condition'.

I enjoyed it hugely and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see something a little different.

It is showing at Nexus Theatre at Murdoch University, lasts about an hour and twenty minutes, and is $10 or $5 concession. Call 0403288809 to book.
