Seven Lessons: Lesson Five, The Rite of Mars
Hi Friends!
AS you know if you’ve been following along, we’ve been working on a series of seven short videos wherein we discuss our process and the lessons we learned along the way. In this video Jon talks about techniques for using the imagination of the audience to complete the narrative.
We continue to reflect on and learn from the material, even after all this time. For example, have you noticed that the three Rites than comprise the pillar of severity each end with the central figure falling into a despair? It is as though their force is entirely spent and they collapse, and rather than be overthrow or sacrifice themselves in some manner, they just give up.
Are there any similar patterns that you have noticed within the narrative of The Rites of Eleusis? Feel free to leave a comment below.
Thanks again to everyone who has been watching The Rites of Eleusis, and sharing the videos with their friends. The outpouring of support has been moving, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped to make this work a reality!
