Chapter 231: Announcing a New Drama
News of the Bredero's troupe's return to the city of Ascatra spread quickly, and overnight the city became known to the entire city.
The townspeople are like children looking forward to Christmas, and they all know that after two years, they can finally enjoy the live version of the troupe's stage play again.
Sure enough, the troupe issued an announcement informing the citizens that in order to reward the citizens of Astra for their love, the troupe had specially rehearsed a new play, also based on the true story of the city of Ascatla, adapted by the great artist Bredrow, which would be performed on the day of the Green Grass Festival in April 1371 of the Valley Era.
The Green Grass Festival is a festival that celebrates the beginning of winter and spring, when spring officially arrives, and people remove the flowers that have been carefully tended in the temples and castles from the snow to ward off the cold winter and pray for a good harvest in the coming season.
People's mood is also far away with the depressing winter, full of hope for the new year, this festival is equivalent to the Feren version of the Spring Festival.
The promotion of this new drama is not like the company's previous plays, but it is simply introduced on the bulletin board, telling the eagerly awaited audience that the show is also about love and goodness, adhering to the usual style of the Bredrow theater company.
A poster for the new play was also put up, showing a beautiful woman in a dancing red dress and a baby goat, behind whom an ugly deformed human cowered in the shadows.
Another poster shows the deformed man being tied up and kneeling on the execution table, and the beautiful woman in the red dress holding a jug and feeding him water.
Citizens speculate that the beauty and the ugly monster in the poster are the two protagonists of this drama.
The citizens are still very confused, how can such a beautiful woman and such an ugly man fall in love?
Their love does not make people feel romantic, but feels a little bored, in the love story, shouldn't the hero and heroine be handsome men and beautiful women, a pair made in heaven?
Just like Bredero's previous creations of "Titanic", "Ghost Love" and "Deep Water Holiday", there is a big gap between the identities of the male and female protagonists, but they are also handsome and chic male protagonists, and beautiful and moving female protagonists.
Does Bredrow want to continue to challenge himself, after crossing the barriers of time and space, life and death, and man and god, let love cross the barriers of beauty and ugliness?
People are waiting with such doubts and expectations, the pace of spring is getting closer and closer, and the Green Grass Festival is finally coming.
As on previous premiere days, the Bredero Theatre Company's new plays are also free of charge, with coded ticket stubs distributed to all citizens in the form of a raffle.
In the morning of the Green Grass Festival, the morning is bright, the air is fresh, the temperature has warmed after the winter, although there is still a lingering cold, but it is also warm, it is really a good weather.
Helen, the Elect of Eros, walked into the Amber Theatre in high spirits, and without any suspense, the queen of Ferren Europe had once again hit the jackpot and got the best seats.
For the past two years, Helen, as a big fan of the Bredero troupe, has been quietly behind the troupe, and whenever the troupe performs somewhere, she must be among the audience.
How can watching the "Shadow" version be enjoyable to watch the "live" version?
The goddess electorate is not short of money, and with her extraordinary strength, she is not afraid of the monsters she encounters on her journey, and a dangerous trip to a mortal is like an outing to her.
Originally, she wanted to join the troupe, even if she was a miscellaneous drama manager, and she could protect her beloved Bredero with her, but seeing Bredero fighting with a handsome and mature man, Helen's heart was about to break, and she knew that her idea of starting a relationship with Bredero would never come true, so she could only leave gloomily.
This is probably also the influence of the "Curse of Eros" in the dark, Arcanis persuaded many girls who have a good impression of Luo Feng to leave.
Although his beloved big star is a base (pseudo), he can't stop female fans from loving his works, Helen couldn't join the troupe, but she still couldn't help but follow the troupe and watch every stage play performed by the troupe live.
It didn't take long for the 1,000-seat theater to fill the audience, the magic lights in the theater went out, a pillar of light was projected in the screening room, and the new play of the Bredlow Theater Company officially began.
The subtitles are projected on the screen, and the name of the play is: "The Temple of Losanda"
The scene begins with a scene at the festival of joy, where the deformed figure shown in the poster is carried out by the crowd, and he is chosen as the "Prince of Joy", wearing a wreath on his head and parading through the square in front of the temple in the temple area of Luoshanda, smirking at the cheers and taunts of the people.
This ugly man was an orphan adopted by Claude, the vice-priest of the temple of Losanda, whose name was Quasimodo, and the merciful archpriest raised the god-cursed outcast to ring the bell for the temple of Loshanda.
Helen saw that the Quasimodo was played by Bradero after makeup, but she didn't expect the handsome Bradero to appear on the stage with a subversive image, deliberately pretending to be ugly and playing a deformed person.
The acting skills of the great performer are very good, and the distorted movements of the deformed person, the sluggish and stupid expression, and the depression of the inner pain but no way to vent are all vividly played.
Helen wondered how such a stupid and clumsy harlequin could be favored by Eros.
The first act of the play ended, and the theater was dark, and by the time the lights came back on, the scene had changed.
The woman in the red dress in the poster is performing in the neighborhood with a lamb, and the lamb is very smart, as if she can understand the orders of the girl in the red dress. The beautiful woman in the red dress danced, dancing enthusiastically and charmingly.
A poor bard saw this scene, was attracted by the beautiful girl's dancing and face, and remembered her.
At night, the bard heard the singing of the girl in the red dress and couldn't help but walk out of the inn and quietly follow her. At this moment, two men suddenly jump out and snatch her, and the poet recognizes one of them as the ugly Quasimodo, but is knocked unconscious by Quasimodo.
Seeing this, Helen was even more puzzled, could it be that the male protagonist of this play is not Quasimodo, but the bard named Gangova?
Could it be that Bredrow is playing the role of a villain this time?
When Gangova awoke, he stumbled and strayed into the halls of the "Palace of Miracles" in the darkness, where beggars and homeless men gathered, and outsiders would be executed unless a homeless woman was willing to marry him.
At the critical moment, the girl in the red dress suddenly appeared, and it turned out to be the patrolling captain of the Amber Guard, Furbis, who rescued her.
The girl in the red dress was named Esmeralda, and she was kind-hearted, and she could not bear to see this young man whom she had never known die unexpectedly, and expressed her willingness to marry him, and formed a nominal husband and wife with him.
Seeing this, Helen suddenly realized, sure enough, as she guessed, Bredrow played the role of the villain, and the bard was the real hero.
But the development of the follow-up plot surprised her, which was completely unexpected by her.
