Jonathan Pageau and Annie Crawford | Recovering the Old Stories After Deconstruction

You can have Into the Woods and Wicked, and you can have Shrek, and you can have the, the, the recent version of Snow White in Disney, and you can mock and invert and keep doing it, but at some point you run out because people stop to know why, what, who cares? Like, what are you even mocking? Like, what are you even inverting? What are you even, uh, subverting?

Mm-hmm.

And therefore, in the postmodern gesture, there's a secret, which is that at some point you have to retell the, the original story, even for the, even for the, the deconstruction to happen, and that's the time we are in now.

So we should, we should take advantage of it as much as possible, right? To tell the most beautiful, the most profound versions of these stories.
