THE TRICKSTER

Following from ideas about character, taken
from Jung. Exploring Jung's archetypes, as an
approach to character, based on the the
Structure of the traditional Japanese Nō drama -
short plays, each of the main pieces, centres around
a particular character, or archetype.

My intentions - exploring the Trickster, was to include
an alternative perspective - a bad guy. Enemy,
perhaps a soldier, or guard - an agitator of
some kind.
I have been considering, whether the idea of the
Trickster, may be evident in the structure, and
ideas behind the work. A disruption, interlude,
break in the story. Or - a memory, my own
reflection, anticipation, or ideas, that keep
re-appearing, re-occuring, weaving in and out of
the texts, and the films.
