Kaleidoscope

Description
Kaleidoscope : what would you do if you were a million miles from Earth and your rocket ship was hit by a meteor and suddenly split open, leaving you floating in space with only your communicator to link you to your six crew members? Don't know? Faced with this problem, Bradbury's people contemplate their fate and philosophize about life and its purpose. This play is not only a director's dream of possibilities but also a marvelous chance for actors to dig into their beings and face show more questions of profound magnitude. show lessTags

920. aastal sündinud Ray Bradbury on vaieldamatult kahekümnenda sajandi ulmekirjanduse suurkuju. Tema esimene jutukogu ilmus 1947. aastal ning sellest ajast peale on ta avaldanud nii omavahel seotud lühijutte, jutukogusid, lühiromaane kui ka õudusjutte. Tema juttudes on peaaegu alati tunda kaotust ja nostalgiat ning ta tunneb inimestele kaasa isegi nende kõige arutumate tegude puhul. Kuigi paljudes Bradbury juttudes toimub tegevus Maast kaugel, on tema peamised kangelased siiski inimesed ning tehnoloogia kirjeldamine ei hakka kunagi domineerima. Ja nagu hea kirjandus ikka, on ka Bradbury loomingu paremik ajatu ja aegumatu.
