Great show. Live musicians on stage the whole time. And this is what I realized: The (epic)chorus is a chorus of characters: it is composed of many people each in their own one-man show: portraying many characters, at once, consecutively, etc. It is composed of a group of epic poets.

I think this is why ADing on GOLDA was so pertinent to my work. Although the actress was a chorus of one, she was still choral in the fluidity of her identity.
