Comparison and Contrast

How does the connection/ interaction between the audience and the artist works in ‘Rhythm 0’? /
How did the audience react in this performance? (Write 2 to 3 answers)
1. The "invitation" tells us that the use of any objects presented to them will urges how far they will
inflict pain and pleasure to Marina without being afraid of its consequence as they are not accountable
for any damages that might happen. It paved the path for the audience's acceptable behavior in
connection with the performance.
2. The "power" inflicted on each individual signifies satisfaction to the audience. However, the results
do not derive into individual fulfillment as it resulted into two reactions. Whereas these two reactions
of the audience are others envision themselves that they want to harm Marina to feel the pleasure of
hurting and know how far she will push her limits. Some foresee themselves as a person who feels
sympathy for Marina because they knew that everything that happened was already beyond the limit.

AUDIENCES’
REACTION

SIMILARITIES (Write 2 to 3 similarities)

1. The "Guilt" that the performance left into us and struck within us gives a connection to the
audience and to me. Through the temptations and fulfillment of our pride and ego, every
human is capable of doing things that results in morality and immorality without being
bothered to its outcome but later on could haunt us on the things that we can't control and
cannot change.
2. The Rhythm 0 leaves us the most significant responsibility with our actions based on our
physical and mental decisions. Doing something horrible, with or without being responsible
for it, leaves a feeling of being terrified from it for the audience, similarly, as it scares me if I
tolerate those wrongdoings without doing anything to correct them and fight for them.

YOUR REACTION AS
AN AUDIENCE

How does the connection/ interaction between the you, as an audience, and the artist works
in ‘Rhythm 0? / How did you, as an audience, react in this performance? (Write 2 to 3
answers)
1. The "end" part of Rhythm 0 does not just tell us about how the audience is afraid to
confront Marina. For me, the ending part of the performance does not alone fulfill the
satisfaction level of pleasure-pain but likewise says something that Rhythm 0 leaves marks of
continuous pleasure and pain to me. It haunts me how "power" affects my personal decision
and choices, which allows me to change my perspective about life.

2. The Rhythm 0 left me realize that I should be more educated and continuously educate
myself about something about morality. No matter how many temptations life could give,
with or without being accountable for it, always keep in mind that every human deserves to
be treated like one.
