LAURIE MARSHALL
This was followed by “The Angel Dream.” In this dream Ms. Marshall was in the elementary school. A storm was brewing and everyone rushed outside to look at the clouds. There in the clouds was a substitute teacher, an angel, who told them, ‘To each of you new powers will be revealed.”
They went inside where the floor was buckling, and from the floor an unborn rabbit and unborn frog rose up to become new teachers teaching the ability to fly.
At the gallery are paintings of the substitute teacher as an angel and the buckling floor with the rabbit and tadpole emerging.
The description of this dream was followed by the singing of “May the Circle Be Unbroken,” which continued through the next segment, a tape of Blanche Doss Kennedy (who is the great aunt of Ms. Marshall’s husband, Rex Slack), telling what she expects in Heaven. “Life on Earth is just the beginning. Afterwards we keep giving,” she said.
The next segment was based on an Eskimo story of a hunter, following a group of blue whales that were being chased by killer whales. One old whale turned and swam toward the Orcas, “giving himself as a gift.”
The singing of the hymn continued while images of Michaelangelo’s “Pieta” appeared amidst scenes of destruction and images of the earth in space.
This was followed by “The Devil Dream.” Ms. Marshall and her husband were in a hotel lobby and “evil incarnate had come to claim a soul.”
An elderly man came out struggling with ~ two suitcases. He fell face-down on the floor. Ms Marshall and her husband put their hands on his back and “The devil disappeared. Evil cannot live in the face of love.”
Next came a dance “Transformation of Evil,” based on a Yaqui Indian ritual performed at Easter. At the end the dancers were joined by many children and some of their parents.
They sang “Step by Step,” a union song, ’ and continued that out of the theater and to the gallery.
There the paintings showed many scenes from the dreams. Projected on the curtains at the theater, the images weren’t clear. At the gallery they were, and most powerful of all was a painting, “Mother, here is your son.”
