A song/demo from a collaborative, cross-panel, inquiry-based and experiential learning project called "The Tikbalang and Me." The project will culminate in a one-act, musical theatre and multimedia production intended for a target audience of grades 6 - 8 students in Canada. Additionally, the project will result in a recorded album, a graphic novel and/or an animated film adaptation.
While "Crossing The Threshold" (a stage of the "Hero's Journey"), the main character of the story undergoes a seemingly surreal experience. Indeed, a mythical creature from Philippine folklore - a Tikbalang - manages to whisk him away to a parallel universe.
For another perspective on "the human condition," it is highly recommended you follow the poetry of @d-pend. In particular, have a listen to "Molecules, puppets, and plays" It is exemplary work! - steemit.com/dsound/@d-pend/molecules-puppets-and-plays
LYRICS:
OUTTA HERE (NOOSPHERE)
Day after day
It’s the same
I want outta here
Stuck here on earth
What’s it worth
Wanna disappear
Light
Space
Time
Let’s get outta here
Five starting here
Transform there
Through infinity
Points on a plane
Curve through space
Multiplicity
Light
Space
Time
Let’s get outta here
Life, rolling spools
Spreading shades, colour pools
Tracing bands, will endure
Memory, free and pure
Stir and evolve
Light the spark
Exclamation point
Change in my mind
Mystic shift
The Omega Point
Light
Space
Time
Let’s get outta here / To the Noosphere
