How can we defend our homeland if we don't have an army?The birds-costume & stage design (BDA_PL03) |
|||||
|
A fusion of elements from Aristophanes’ comedy and a modern street/ media language. A story about a group of people who rebel and escape the world which they consider is not theirs.This is represented by jumping the wall at the back of the stage.Behind the wall there is a screen with a visualisation of the sea (and shades of dockyard/cranes for a second)....The rebels leave this world behind them and find themselves in a place which is not being formed yet... They walk (on the sand
and platform on the revolving stage) and utter the syllables, broken
words(that resemble birds sounds) about freedom and new independent
society( actors produce the words as if they didn’t understand their
meaning but trying to guess it).. With the time passage these single
words change into well known advertisment slogans about freedom of
consumption (these now are declaimed in the full conviction ). People
built/buy their houses , their cars, their security systems, mobility
and the time. One ‘parrots’ another. American economy, the new god,
pulls the strings. The last scene shows the newly created world (the
revolving stage rotates and ones again shows the wall behind which the
elite is having a party)– the world full of walls, cameras and allarms
installed everywhere, with bodyguards at each corner of the street to
protect people’s possessions against the attacks of the poor who can’t
afford them... |
