This is the only version on CZcams that does it right.
I really enjoy all the stage action. I'm doing a class on this play right now and getting to see it 'in action' is useful for understanding the context.
Fun, fun, fun!!! 𝜥α𝜆λισ𝛕ο𝛓
"Where are you going to find a white stud?"
She found one. RAWR!
I’m curious where the poster found this video?

"No same sex marriage"?! Wtf why was that added in the end song. Is this a christian school?
I thiiiink it was a joke because afterwards they sad, "So let's kill strangers." Homosexuality was super common back then because it was thought that women weren't full human beings so the truest connection was between two men. Spartan soldiers were even paired together in couples because it made them fight harder. Also there is evidence of female homosexuality too. But I could be wrong and they're just bigoted.
The entire text of the original ignores both homosexuality and masturbation as potential solutions to the problem. I think without doing so the story falls apart so we are just supposed to suspend belief. But that line specifically is very odd.
Oh lol, seems like your guess of a Christian school was probably spot on. "Loyola University New Orleans is a private, co-educational, Jesuit university located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Originally established as Loyola College in 1904, the institution was chartered as a university in 1912." Apparently there is a whole debate about it. cardinalnewmansociety.org/loyola-university-new-orleans-faculty-senate-approves-proposal-for-same-sex-benefits/
Bingo!
"We are here to set our priorities straight. You frown on sex but you smile on killing. Is it really better to have blood spilling than to give 2 adults freedom of choice (couldnt make out the last part)"
They are trying to say that its fucked up that war is more acceptable than same sex marriage.
Again, like a number of other versions of this great play, it has been childishly done with a histrionic and blatantly pornagraphic obesity instead of the director resisting the temptation to showcase HIMSELF and allowing the writer’s story to shine through.
I don't know, man, "histrionic and blatantly porn[o]graphic" seems to be a pretty good description of Aristophanes' play as written.
@@trueroscoe Well, porn[o]graphic (my bad on the spelling, thanks) isn’t, I think, what Aristophanes was going for.
Nor do I think any would.
As any legitimate and true artist would do, I believe the writer was creating a great play with a sexually ‘corpulent’ atmosphere, hoping the director(s) who came afterward would utilize great self-discipline and self-control, with fine-tuned subtleties, allowing the “feel” of the sexual atmosphere to be invisibly absorbed by the audience rather than taking a high-power water cannon and attacking the poor viewers, drenching them with it.
sucks in general
