the show itself was honestly surprisingly moving--more details on that in my blog for mixed feelings: www.mixedfeelings.earth/p/attack-on-...
the sold-out attack on titan musical made broadway c*nt again
As the cast of Attack on Titan: The Musical took their final bows I suddenly became very sure of two things: One, Attack on Titan might be one of the most important fictional works of the twenty-first...
i was very lucky to speak to some fans after the show. i'll always remember the comments from samar, a fan from gaza. www.mixedfeelings.earth/p/attack-on-...
![The musical ends at the end of the training arc, where Eren and his comrades are preparing to launch the first attack on the titans that humanity has ever seen. I couldn’t help but think about the war in Gaza as I watched it, as the ensemble sang about their fear and subjugation, living their lives inside a cage with no hope. Every day, I see horrific images from Gaza of Palestinian children dead in their parents’ arms, burning to death in hospitals, children mourning their parents with heart shattering cries of grief. The question of “how far would you go for freedom?” has never been more relevant.
Samar, a fan who is from Gaza, said that watching the show brought up feelings about Palestine and the conditions there.
“I started watching the first episode and then I was watching an episode every week,” Samar said. “I remember the episodes exactly when the three of them were dreaming about going outside. I was in Gaza, and Gaza is also locked and they have a siege. That was my dream, [too]. A lot of feelings, really, Attack on Titan brings to me. It felt like Gaza, the feelings they brought up. It felt the same.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:yddfcdhhinii6fj6hyulnzpk/bafkreigufy5nrljmkimry3zqrksccyqjzg6uef5b4xqj5ywvisn3cwjiwi@jpeg)
