Some people say unlike real life where the situations are related to their real social situations, in MAMA plays it would be hard to suspend their reality and obtain emotional experience from them since they will always see it as fake.
Any interaction between two people can be considered a role play. This is because they have to choose a script they will use to interact, they have to have interacted in a specific venue, they have to have accessories such as clothes on them and they are supporting characters to each other’s MAMA play during the interaction.
So every social situation can be described as a MAMA play and it can be rationally deconstructed and make someone fail to obtain an emotional experience from it. The following are examples of famous rituals that can be deconstructed and make someone not experience emotions:
Social arts
Movies
When you are watching a movie you are deciding to consciously suspend your reality so that you can gain the emotional experience from the movie.
If you decide to think of the characters as just acting and imagine the camera behind them then you won’t be able to extract emotional experience from them.
If you think of the movies as tools used by the elite to make the masses comply with their rule then you won’t be able to enjoy the movie.
Sports
When you are watching sports you are deciding to consciously suspend your reality so that you can gain emotional experience from the sports match.
If you decide to think of the athletes as just a bunch of overpaid fitness enthusiast running around chasing a ball to the delight of the bored masses then you won’t be able to extract emotional experience from the sports match.
If you think of the sports match as tools used by the elite to make the masses comply with their rule then you won’t be able to enjoy the sports match.
Social rituals
Graduations
People choose to feel proud and experience the emotions involved with their graduations.
If they choose to think of college as wasted time then they won’t feel good about their graduation, if they choose to think of the student debt they accumulated then they won’t feel good about their graduation.
But if they choose to ignore the facts, they will experience emotions involved with graduating from college.
Outings
People choose to feel happy and experience the emotions involved with their outings where they spoil themselves.
If they choose to think of the outing as them being perfect consumer droids for the capitalist system then they won’t enjoy the outing or if they choose to think of their outing as wasting their future then they won’t enjoy their future.
But if they choose to ignore the facts then they will experience emotions involved with the outings.
Wedding
People choose to experience the emotions of love and happiness in weddings.
If you think of the times the partner has pissed you off, the fact that your economic situation helped you get him\her, the fact most of the people there are for the food and drinks and not for you and most are jealous then you won’t experience the emotions of the wedding.
But if you choose to ignore that then you will experience emotions involved with the wedding.
Social structures
Countries
People choose to think of countries as legit and factual.
But if they think of the awful things their country has done, the minorities being repressed in their countries, the arbitrariness of their borders etc. they will be unable to get the emotional experience of belonging to a country and find the idea of nations as absurd.
Family
People choose to think of their family as a fact of life and base most of their identities and emotional experiences on it.
But if they think of the ills caused by putting the family first before the community such as cronyism, plutonism etc., the amount of family abuse that goes on in families etc. then they will be unable to get the full emotional experience of having a family and find the current notion of family as unsubstansive.
Friends
People choose to think of their friends as a fact of life and that most of them mean good to them hence obtain the emotional experience of happiness.
But if they think of the ills caused by friendships and how most people are friends just to benefit from them then they will not get the emotional experience of happiness but of sadness from their friendships.
Conclusion
So in any social art, ritual or structures, if you decide to rationally deconstruct them you won’t be able to gain the emotional experience that you wanted but will get a rational experience.
Hence even with MAMA plays, you will learn how to suspend your reality and obtain emotional experience while performing in a MAMA play.
Hence all emotional experiences are a result of our choices to experience them with the help of the proper venues, accessories and characters which means that people doing MAMA plays will be able to fully experience the emotions be it as a thief or drug lord.
