I guess that "Playback" is from someplace abroad, especially since it has an English name. I've gone to two performances/events.
The first was performed by men to a mixed audience here in Shiloh. It was part of the celebrations of the reestablishment of Shiloh as a Jewish town. We were requested to tell an anecdote from the annals of Shiloh history from our personal stories and then the troupe performed/interpreted it as an improvisation of sorts. Some were more successful than others.
This past week a women's troupe performing for women only (and a couple of young daughters of the actresses) appeared in Shiloh. Some neighbors were in the group. I had been tempted to join when it was first announced that a group from the area was to be trained, but it was much too complicated for me to commit to anything when my elderly father was living with us.
I expected it to be just like the other performance but by women. It wasn't. They concentrated more on feelings rather than stories. I wasn't prepared for that. I contributed a story from our first year in Shiloh. They weren't prepared for that.
What was interesting was that they redid it until we were all satisfied, sort of.
