Concert Tour 2000 A & B: Dream & Reality?

[Delirium-Zer0]

The themes of "dream" and "reality" are actually pretty apparent... at the beginning of Act 1 she even says "welcome to the dream world"... then at the start of act 2, time rewinds on that big screen and everything starts over, only this time it's reality, not dreams. It's more of a figurative reality though, as alot of the onstage themes are definitely not realistic at all. The most obvious giveaway is the theme during the ever free onscreen video that the dream world is dead.

otc is right about some of the dream themes in act 1 being more obvious... the flowers, the fairy tale feeling, the floating up, and the multiple Trust/Depend on you ayus especially. The reality themes in Act 2 are definitely more subtle... act 1 was like ayu's wishes & fears (monochrome was VERY well done), and then act 2 showed how she really felt (like a doll in A Song for XX, or like a raver in Trauma... still trying to interpret vogue, Far away, and SEASONS' settings and costumes. Also still trying to figure out the role of the clowns. (Maybe it's a reference to her career as an entertainer.) If i could understand some of the onscreen japanese during their appearances it'd be easier
