Normally all challenges are individually based and I ranked the performance collectively. This challenge, I want you all to prove your worth as a tribe. Yes, your first challenge is a group project. This shall be the ONLY group project of the season. Promise.
As a tribe, I want you to write me a short OPERA of your own original creation. You have complete freedom for your concept but this opera must include a song from each member.
I need...
(1) song to open the OPERA and set the mood,
(2) song that the protagonist character sings,
(3) song that the antagonist character sings,
(4) song about a third character who is the love interest of both the protagonist and antagonist,
(5) song about the conflict, climax, or tragic end
(6) The resolution and closer of the OPERA
For your explanation I am only looking for a paragraph or less, please don't stress about this. There are 2 ways to accomplish this, either talk to your teammates and make a cohesive story, or just dump 6 songs and assign someone to make the story work. I want to either laugh or cry or as they say in the OPERA, a COMEDY OR A TRAGEDY.
This is a 72 hour challenge (mainly so you all can say hi and get to know each other). After this challenge, we go full throttle, so don't get comfortable with this 72 hour deadline.
Have I scared you off yet?
To clarify:
Each team must post all 6 songs, 1 song per person, and then a short paragraph of how all the songs are related. Very simple, please don’t create a video or write too much, this is not meant to be a masterpiece, just a group challenge to get y’all to talk to each other
“The scenario this opera discusses is one where a religious man is losing his girlfriend to a terminal illness. He starts to doubt his beliefs because he feels God is betraying him. The girl is coming to terms with her inevitable death and finding out what she really wants along the way. When she dies, the man has to live with the pain, but is reminded it gets better with time.”
