Mickey Mouse is creepy

A mickey mouse mask, in silhouette, towering on a huge canvas, would make an interesting artwork.
How did I get this idea? On Saturday I went to see 'Aufsteig und Fall der Stadt Mahogany' at the Deutsche Oper. The staging was amazing. The whole stage floor was black and shiny. The stage had a normal straight front, but the other sides were curved round into a semicircle by a huge white cloth, which was lit from behind. All the cast were dressed in dinner jackets and wearing mickey mouse masks. The cast were so numerous they appeared as an army in silhouette, the Mickey ears silhouetted above them. There was a sharp side-lighting as well, giving the faces harsh contrast. At one point they held the masks up. The light shone through the eye sockets.
In the second act there was a hurricane, depicted as a huge German flag, the size of the stage, descending onto the cast. It was very graphic and bright, but sinister.
