Blue Man Group is a creative organization founded by 3 men with a wonderful idea and a dream. It is an organization that produces theatrical shows and concerts featuring music, comedy and multimedia, recorded music and scores for film and television. Their entire appearances star a trio of performers called Blue Men, who appear to have blue skin and no hair or ears.
The Blue Man was created to be somewhat similar to a human being, more often than not as a satire to our human practices.
"The strongest and most obvious Blue Man characteristic is his static appearance namely, the ear-less, bright blue head and face, and nondescript, utilitarian clothing. In action, the Blue Man does not speak and his face is usually expressionless, although suggestions of curiosity, surprise, wonder, chagrin, etc are sometimes visible. the Blue Man does not communicate through speech or broad body language or gestures; rather, he communicates through intense eye contact and a simple gestures. he acts impulsively and primarily as a group of three," checking in"with the other two when making decisions and before moving to their next action."
This design creates a character that is free of stereotypes or race, breaking barriers of age, gender class group etc. these 'men' themselves carry as amazing message, which unfortunately, many of us either fail to realize, or refuse to apply in our lives. The entire work of the Blue Man Group takes everything we missed, may it be thinking outside the box, equality among others, protecting our 'home' and dealing with the core of problems rather than fixing the symptoms. It may not seem to be much, but simply dealing with one or two core issues, the world could be a much better place.
Check out their amazing work over the past decade - Maybe we could pick up something.
