| There is a need to tie the audience closer
to the performance. There is one tie in the character of Dr. Jack when he
attempts to get the audience to see the after images they project from their
mind onto the stage. However, an additional Documentary Still Photographer
is needed and this character can be used to make a direct link from the
audience to the stage. This person will be lightly costumed and will
not be on the stage. He/She will be in the audience taking pictures and
saying "Look at the mirror". He/She will repeat this three times. The
first time will be toward the audience and He/She will take a flash photo of
the audience. The second time will be toward the stage and He/She will take
a flash photo of the stage. The third time will be again toward the audience
and He/She will take a flash photo of the audience. The "Crack in the
Mirror" will continue to take photographic documents of the performance
until it ends. The reason for this character is that the performance scene is taken from the 2nd chapter of "Through the Looking Glass". This is the first mirror relationship. The second relationship is that contemporary culture and thought appears to be only a reflection of our lurid past as a civilized group and not reality or what we really are. The third relationship is that the photograph itself is a mirror. The fourth relationship is that artists are attempting to put a crack in the mirrored image that is reflected to us and therefore allow us to see the true reality. |
