Okay, so I'm still thinking about narration, and now I have some more questions/thoughts about non-narrative forms. I was in Las Vegas this weekend and my friends and I went to see Le Reve (the dream), an acrobatic, Cirque du Soleil type show. The show didn't make any linear, narrative-type sense as I suppose the audience had been warned about in the title... But I wonder, what effect does providing that kind of a background as a prelude offer to a production? Or a better question I guess, what kind of license does an author get when advising that a creation is dream-based (or simply non-narrative based)? Would most audiences be less willing to drop their attachment to narrative theatre or spectacula without prior explicit warning of the possiblity? It's kind of interesting that we bring out previous conceptions of where we expect narrative to appear and where we don't to the table when consuming media...
