BAKU (pronounced: Bah-coo) The name of the dream eater. 2. KIMONO (pronounced: keymoe-no) The robe-like garment that is worn for special occasions. 3. YUKATA (pronounced:youkah-tah) A summer kimono. 4. FUNE (pronounced: foo-neh) A boat: one of the most popular object to make for origami. 5.

B 2.)D 3.)E 4.) C 5.)F 6.)A Synopsis of the Play and the Myth The Dream Eater takes place in a small Japanese village many years ago where a young boy named Yukio suffers from bad dreams. He and his stuffed animal, Baku, spend a day asking his family and friends for help, but all of them have nightmares, too. When Yukio falls asleep beside the river, he accidentally lets his stuffed animal fall into the water. Yukio awakens suddenly to find Baku alive and crying out for help! Yukio manages to pull the creature out of the water, and their friendship begins. When Yukio learns that his new friend likes to eat bad dreams, they travel around the village helping people sleep easier! The myth of the dream eater originated in China, but the Japanese culture embraces the baku since many people in Japan believe evil spirits cause bad dreams. The dream eater, or Baku, is often believed to turn the bad dreams into good luck. In ancient Japan, people would sleep with a baku pillow to protect them. Now, many people will simply place under their pillows a piece of paper with Baku written on it or cry out for the Baku after their bad dream. Drawings of Baku show him to look like a bear with a pointed head, legs like a tiger, tail like a cow, and trunk like an elephant.
3 Pre-Show Questions 1. In The Dream Eater, Yukio talks to his stuffed animal when he feels sad. What are the benefits of talking about your problems, even if it s just to a toy? 2. Many people believe that dreams tell us about our true thoughts and feelings. Do you believe this is true? What evidence to do you have to support your conclusions? Have you experienced a dream that revealed a lot about yourself? 3. Discuss superstitions in your family, school, region, and country. What is their purpose? How do you feel about them? Where did they originate? Carmen the Night Driver. The Japanese myth about the dream eater originates from people just like you having bad dreams and wanting a solution. Believing in the Baku as a creature who eats bad dreams makes sleeping much better! BUILD YOUR OWN CREATURE DIRECTIONS: BEFORE SEEING THE DREAM EATER, THINK ABOUT A PROBLEM IN YOUR DAILY LIFE, SUCH AS DISLIKING A CERTAIN FOOD OR HAVING DIFFICULTY IN A CLASS. NEXT, USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO BRAINSTORM ALL KINDS OF CREATURES THAT COULD SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM. BE SURE TO CREATE YOUR OWN CREATURE: IT CAN LOOK AND DO WHATEVER YOU D LIKE. FINALLY, DRAW YOUR CREATURE, NAME IT, AND WRITE A DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH TO HELP OTHERS UNDERSTAND YOUR CREATURE S LOOKS AND PURPOSE. DURING THE SHOW, RELAX AND LISTEN. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHOW, TAKE NOTE OF YOUR INITIAL REACTIONS. Post-Show Questions 1. Discuss your favorite and least favorite moments of the show. Why do you think those stuck out to you? What were you feeling before, during, and after the show? 2. Compare and contrast the Japanese characters in the play with your family: How do they react to dreams? How do they treat each other? What do they value? 3. Why do you think the design team chose those specific colors for the costumes? How do they help or hinder the character s individuality? 4. If you ve read the book The Dream Eater, how did the performance uphold the story? How did it deter from it? IN THE DIRECTOR S CHAIR When creating the production of The Dream Eater, the director needed to find a way to portray the bad dreams so the audience could experience them with the Yukio and his family. Consider these questions to think from the director s perspective: 1. Try having a conversation about your dreams with a friend. What other resources do you use to help your friend feel what you felt in your dream? (gestures, pictures, etc.) How can you use these sources in a play about dreams? 2. What kinds of everyday objects could you use to make a puppet? Which puppets would portray a sad dream? Which might portray a funny dream? Plan your own puppet show of a dream you had. 3. Music and sound effect our feelings as we watch a performance. What song would you use to help a friend feel what you felt in a recent dream? THEATRE WORDS HOW MANY OF THESE WORDS DO YOU KNOW? - STAGE - GREEN ROOM - INTERMISSION - PROTAGONIST - ANTAGONIST - PLATFORM - SPOTLIGHT - STAGE MANAGER - GOBO - FOURTH WALL - STRIKE - QUICK CHANGES - HOUSE - CUE LINE - MONOLOGUE - ENCORE - UNDERSTUDY - TECH WEEK - CHEAT OUT - RUN THROUGH - PAPER TECH - OFF BOOK -
4 Origami Boat Directions A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF THE JAPANESE CULTURE IS THE ART OF PAPER FOLDING, ORIGAMI. ANIMALS, DECORATIONS, AND TOYS FILL ORIGAMI BOOKS ALL OVER THE WORLD. IN THE DREAM EATER, CHARACTERS DREAM OF POEMS WRITTEN ON PAPER BOATS. USING THE DIRECTIONS ON THIS HANDOUT, WHICH COMES FROM ORIGAMI- FUN.COM, CREATE YOUR OWN ORIGAMI BOAT. BE SURE TO WRITE A POEM ON THE PAPER BEFORE YOU BEGIN FOLDING! * Also in The Dream Eater, a character dreams of butterflies. Can you create a butterfly by simply folding a piece of paper? Consider checking out an origami book at your local library to try!
