4The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, September 15, 1981 v ' y : : 4a offffeirs ancient message to society By DAVID JARRETT DTH Staff Writer Habakkuk, the multimedia show being shown for four nights in Great Hall, pre sents an ancient message to modern so ciety, the leader of the four-member team showing it said Monday. "We're taking a modern medium and communicating a message,' Janet Byer of Twentyonehundred Productions said in an interview. "It's a powerful medium, and it communicates well if it's used well." The medium is multi-image projection. For this show, that means that 24 slide projectors display images on a 50-foot screen while narration and an original musical score accompany them. "With slides, people have more a feeling of cap turing the moment," Byer said. While the slides include line drawings and other illustrations, most of the shots are from contemporary America, which is in many ways similar to a culture of 2,600 years ago, Byer said. Habakkuk is a retelling of the Biblical book of the same name. In that book, the prophet Habakkuk sees his nation Judah filled with violence, exploitation and in ternational power struggles, and then challenges the apparent inactivity of God in restoring justice. "The guy is looking around at his so ciety and sees his world falling apart ..." Byer said. "And he's asking, 'Where is God in the midst of this?' " More broadly, the show examines con cepts of justice. "The whole issue (is) somebody building their security at the expense of other people," she said More personally, Habakkuk looks into the nature of faith. "Everybody has faith in something," Byer said. "(But) is it something solid or something shaky? And how are you going to live that (faith) out?" The show began when West Coast chapters of Inter-Varsity Christian Fel lowship, the parent organization of Twentyonehundred Productions, began studying the Biblical book in 1973 and 1974. "Both the staff and the students realized how crucial this book was," Byer said. . Twentyonehundred began work in 1974 on its adaptation of the book, seeing that the prophet's story had unusually graphic visual imagery, she said. Work continued for the next six years while the group pro duced smaller-scale shows for Inter-Varsity. The finished show premiered at a Michigan college 11 months ago. During its current tour, Habakkuk will be presented at 14 colleges and universi ties on the East Coast, including Rutgers and Yale, Byer said. "I personally think the show is of in terest to everyone, whether they agree with the message or not," she said. "We're real open to people disagreeing with us," Habakkuk began Monday and ends Thursday, being shown at 7:30 each night. Inter-Varsity, which is sponsoring the presentation, suggests a $2 donation as the price of admission. If .:fcew'" ZJt" jT 11 i i I i : i : it sy!iis;i.-i! Hi: . i 1 - , v I f DTWFaith QuinUveil Projectors set up Monday ... images on 50-foot screen By CHRISTINE MANUEL DTH Staff Writer Zorro the Gay Blade, a spoof of the legendary Mexican hero, is a silly, enjoy able movie. Although it will not greatly alter the comical film scene, Zorro's merits, however slight, make for a plea sant evening. George Hamilton, who stars in a double role and co-produced the film, is becoming an old hand at film paradies. His earlier Love at First Bite, loosely based on Dracula, met with notable commercial success. The film opens in early 17th century Spanish California, with the hero, macho Don Diego (Hamilton), returning to his father's home from a distant Mexican set tlement. He is greeted by the evil Alcalde Estefan (Ron Liebman), who has taken control after Diego's father met an "acci dental" death, and is chased by Estefar's nymphomaniac wife (Brenda Vaccaro). He soon learns of his father's deepest secret that he was Zorro the avenger -and by birthright, vows to continue his father's legend. With his pudgy deaf mute servant, Paco, Zorro blazes across the countryside fighting treachery and leaving his mark, "Z", carved by his expert sword. At Alcalde's inaugural ball, however, he badly injures his leg, temporarily side lining Zorro. j All is not lost,, however, because Ramone, Diego's long lost brother (and Hamilton's other character), suddenly appears. Ramone was sent by his father to the British Navy to become a man but returns to California as a very British gay. He agrees to help his brother only if he can be known as Zorro, the Gay Blade. Although the film sometimes moves slowly, it is, for the most part, humorous satire. The script contains numerous corny puns, which happily are not over used. But most of the stereotypical characters don't develop notable personalities. They simply follow the almost predictable se quence of the film's storyline, leaving no significant impressions. Zorro, the Gay Blade is now showing at the Ram Theaters. a Public service announcements must be turned into the box outside DTH offices in the Carolina Union by noon if they are to run the next day.
