I still like the boat, hehe. "Ugly" is a tad harsh to me, but I won't argue the point since it's perfectly valid. I do like that people around here take the time to explain; other theatre sites--which shall be nameless--are like huge clusterf*cks of opinion without a semblance of reason. Grrrr.
I've explained why the boat does it for me. I don't think it's because it's an abstract representation. Abstract isn't good cause it's abstract and abstract can be quite ugly and useless. Abstract is good for the secrets it discreetly tells and the interconnected feelings a large, diverse audience can suddenly feel at once, just to name a couple. I only mention it because it was the first thing that came to my mind when asking myself why the darn boat worked for me and "abstract" just isn't it.
Er...don't look at me that way! Doesn't everyone ask themselves why they like something and hold inner dialogue with themselves? Um...RIGHT?!
