On September 17th, we had the first meeting with the actors who had an idea of creating a play to reflect politics specifically feminism. We started out brainstorming some ideas and here are the ideas listed below:
Politics (the control over freedom):
- Blue/red lights on stage left / right to create a separation representing the left and right-wing politics.
- Flats down the middle of the stage to show a divide between the left and right wings and their supporters
- Sound effect national anthem to create an atmosphere of the seriousness of the government system.
- Projections of the image of dictatorship (a picture of 1 person) and an image of democracy (of many people) to show the difference between the two wings of the political system.
An example of an image that can be projected for democracy
An example of an image that can be projected for dictatorship
- Spotlights with Gobo which looks like cell bars on the stage which reflects the control the government has over the people.
- Blindfolds on stage as costumes to show that the people/actors are being controlled by the government, also shows that the people do not have their own opinions/direction (since they can't see)
Feminism (the rights for all)
- Pink lights to represent the females in the society
- New reports (prerecorded by an actor) This is to make the performance more realistic.
- Live cinema that includes the audience (turning the camera towards the audience and letting them be projected onto the screen) makes the audience reflect on themselves on their own involvement.
- Recordings of the president's speech (prerecorded by an actor) Build credibility.
- Recordings of past real events projected on the screen. Maybe to evoke emotions in the audience, they could feel sympathy for the weaker groups in society.
- Smoke to reflect tear gas to make it more realistic, and could also show what the government could do to control the protests.
