The history of Born This Way Ball
"Between fantasy and reality"
The concert begins in complete darkness, with the sound of a unicorn galloping in the distance. Gaga is escaping from GOAT. The Gaga movement in the unicorn around the track reflects the journey that is this flight - is trying to find your destination away from the darkness and evil (Highway Unicorn - Road To Love).
At the end of the song, is a castle on earth - the kingdom of Monsters (LGS note: referred to in the 'Manifesto of Little Monsters', 2009). Thus begins the story. Lights are lit and numerous pockets to try to catch Gaga that runs between the castle windows. A voice says, "Starting satellite. Space fugitive, Lady Gaga, has escaped. Fugitive Alien. Objective: to give birth to a new race. Operation: KILL THE BITCH"
This is when it is revealed that they are trying to capture Gaga. She believes the government can be part of the activated device to stop it, and that is why Government Hooker is the second song. Manages to flee and continues to broadcast his message for the Earth:
-Be yourself and be proud of our identity (Born This Way / Hair / Bad Kids / The Queen). -To fight and defend our rights (American / Scheisse). -Using and sharing the good moments of life (Just Dance / Heavy Metal Lover / Telephone). -Al forgiveness and interaction with religion (Judas / Bloody Mary).
Lady Gaga also reveals details of her personal experience while trying to create a new race-free:
'Love and destructive relationships (Bad Romance / You and I / Alejandro). -The need to hide (Poker Face). Her experience with other humans on Earth (Fashion Of His Love).
Chapel Electric represents the castle, a safe place where the new breed can be born. Just as it did in Monster Ball, Lady Gaga fight against Evil in the song Paparazzi, who plays from a castle tower that moves while she is armed with a gun that throws sparks. Win the battle against their oppressors, and the new breed can live free.
However, they also experience pain and loss (The Edge of Glory). Marry The Night is when your mission is over and encourages the people of the kingdom to live passionately
