The Re-education of Ferdinand Magellan Rehearsed uses at its centerpiece the rehearsal of a play in celebration of the voyage of Fernand Magellan. The first man believed to have sailed around the world. The Voyage was primarily a wealth creation endeavor, but it was also an expedition to spread Imperialism and brutal Religious Dogma. The rehearsals are a craven means of Re-educating the Political prisoners cast to perform the play by the State. Wherein they have been subjected to savage treatment to establish conformity they are now dealing with Stanislavsky and Meisner to brainwash them in total. The play springs from an intense personal curiosity about theater experiments with individuals incarcerated both here in the United States and abroad from the 1940s through the present day. The methods developed collectively through various institutions in the hope of transformation in the individual prisoners and the prison population in total. These efforts are driven to reduce the recidivism cycle and ease violence between the prison population, but could these programs become corrupted? The easy answer is possibly! Yet, begs deeper reflection, If the Inmate is made aware, could they then hijack these same weapons to gain control and then use these brainwashing weapons against their Oppressors? Even while battling conflicts within their ranks? Can The Human spirit successfully rise against Tyranny, forced re-education through a theatrical act?
