Introducing, from Newport Coast, CA...
GLORY OF POLARIS
DCPI Division I
Season X Program:
DICHOTOMY: GOOD VS. EVIL
I. Hagen’s Call to His Clan from “Gotterdammerung” by Richard Wagner II. Sinbad Battles Kali from “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad” by Miklos Rosza III. Gnossienne No. 4 by Erik Satie IV. Thalaba’s Fatal Languor / Ecstasy of Faith and Love from “Thalaba the Destroyer” by Granville Bantock
Program Description:
The Heroes: those strapping figures of history and mythology raising arms against injustice and in protection of the innocents and the helpless.
The Villains: the dark, shadowy, ominous beings of advanced intelligence, their plots and machinations causing wide-spread death and destruction all in the name of personal gain (or, alternately, for no reason whatsoever).
Or so we are led to believe.
Are all heroes wholly good? Are all villains pure evil? How many heroes have sacrificed everything (love, family, money and health) in the pursuit of a noble cause? How many heroes have crossed the line in their overzealous quests for justice and vengeance and become villains themselves? How many villains have performed evil deeds for noble motives?
One society's heroes are another society's villains. And what use would there be for heroes without villains for them to oppose? Conjoined, intertwined, indivisible, two sides of the same coin, the ultimate dichotomy: good versus evil.
