Movement class, check these out:
Scenes from Suzuki's recent production of the Greek tragic play Electra, which looks to be set in an insane asylum. Prepare yourself for quite a trip:

Suzuki Verses
O, splendor of sunburst breaking forth this day
Whereon I lay my hands once more on Helen, my wife.
And yet it is not so much as men think
For the woman’s sake I came to Troy,
But against that guest proved treacherous
Who, like a robber, carried the woman from my house.
TO SIT IN SOLMEMN SILENCE IN A DULL DARK DOCK
IN A PESTILENTIAL PRISON WITH A LIFE LONG LOCK,
AWAITING THE SENSATION OF A SHORT SHARP SHOCK
FROM A CHEAP AND CHIPPY CHOPPER ON A BIG BLACK BLOCK.
Whereon I lay my hands once more on Helen, my wife.
And yet it is not so much as men think
For the woman’s sake I came to Troy,
But against that guest proved treacherous
Who, like a robber, carried the woman from my house.
TO SIT IN SOLMEMN SILENCE IN A DULL DARK DOCK
IN A PESTILENTIAL PRISON WITH A LIFE LONG LOCK,
AWAITING THE SENSATION OF A SHORT SHARP SHOCK
FROM A CHEAP AND CHIPPY CHOPPER ON A BIG BLACK BLOCK.
