Our score is about a story called Myth, which is inspired by a Chinese rap song ShenHua (神话). Once upon the time, there was a king who was always blamed by his citizens as he can’t tell right from wrong and always influenced by others’ slanderous talk, which made his kingdom decline. Someone told him that only by finding the devil can he get real free will, so he went on to the adventure. The devil had been waiting for him for thousand years and calmly told him to kill it. Till this point did the king realized that if he kills the devil, he would still be a puppet lacking free will as he was captured by the devil’s word.
We want our graphic scores to be easy enough for us as performers to understand, so plenty of specific and concrete images are included. The black square represents the king and the dots around him are others’ voices distracting him. After that, the environment and atmosphere around him during his way to the devil is depicted. Both video and audio effects will be emphasized at this point. The triangle represents the devil, and after its talk, the king put the sword around its neck. The line represents a period of stagnation on the scene, as to show the self-reflective feeling of the king, and after that, the king makes his decision and the story ends.
