It's an attempt to do speaking opera. What I'm doing can work against the melodrama and the music, and parody the melodrama. In the love scenes, the men are picked up by the women the men are swept off their feet so I can get a lot of comedy from it. It's a comedy of opposition.
More Quotes from Lee Breuer:
The fact of it is that the men's world was actually smaller than the women's world. I wanted to demonstrate this simply by showing the relative size of the feminine power. As much as these men boss these women around, as much as fate made them small to make their men big, the fact is that the whole control factor was illusory it just needed an anarchist like Nora to strike the match that burned up the illusion.Lee Breuer

The doll concept of life was the men's world, and their idea was to try to fit the women into it, to cut them down to size to put them in little wigs, with eyelashes and makeup and make them fashion items in this particular world so they could control it.
