@bergmayer yeah, multiple times. Really love it. It’s still, like, not great in its depiction of race, though. -
@bergmayer but it’s my least guilty way of enjoying The Mikado — in context -
@sarahjeong I want to see a movie that goes into the making of The Mountebanks--Gilbert never gave up on his magic potion/magic lozenge idea

@sarahjeong I always feel guilty for loving The Mikado, and yeah, I think it's because I've only ever seen yellowface productions like this -
@nicolecallahan i kind of enjoyed Topsy Turvy because it’s a performance of The Mikado in context but it’s still not, like, great about race

@sarahjeong@aboynamedart yellowface is not okay, but I don't think I'd want to see Asian people doing it either -
@sarahjeong@aboynamedart the production we had in Hawaii (big Japanese population) opened w/a Japanese diplomat* denouncing the show -
@sarahjeong@aboynamedart *he may not have been a real diplomat. Still, it was a good opener: "This show in no way represents my people"

@sarahjeong The only way to do it is to change all the "Japanese" words back to their English counterparts and set it in feudal England.Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer
