PacoWarabi's video: Paco s International Night 2020 Performance

This was my performance for Chemeketa's International Night. It was a live stream that we projected onto the backdrop behind me, so the audience could watch me, or could watch my performance behind me. When I'm looking behind me, I'm watching myself perform, with about a five second delay. It was very meta. The storyline is as follows: I am going to a superhero school as Paco the Clown. We are all required to show our powers as part of the admissions process. I come onto stage to practice my routine. Unknown to me, The Troll is watching me from the wings (that's who you can see in the background). At the end of my act, she puts up a mean comment, which then devastates me. The mean comment can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsCOJU2LHe4 . The theme of the show was that negative concepts, like online bullying or ignorance, can take the power away from even superheroes, and that ordinary heroes are those that practice tolerance and empathy. It was very fitting from an international programs perspective.
