Directorial Vision

What:

To impact audience so that they will reminded cherish the people around them and to live their lives with meaning, especially directed at adults who do not really communicate and have real relationships with people. We want them to question if they have lived/ are living their lives with meaning. We want to incorporate Brecht’s Vision of showing the audience that they had alternative means to living their lives, instead of plodding along their given circumstances or resigned “fates”.

Our group seeks to bring the audience out of the real world and into the make them realise what IS real (to put them in a coolly reflective situation where they see they have alternative choices to they way they live) [Brecht]

How:This is a achieved through the "weird" (Unnatural) settings and costumes. The way the Examiners conduct their interrogation: Their speech and way of questioning is indirectly directed at the Audience, through eye contact with the audience and distance between the actors and those watching.

The setting is like this: Tables and chairs upturned and placed all over with a red sofa in the middle. The chair is placed centrally and perfectly straight. It is the main area of the interrogation and of the audiences focus. Its significance: Just like how all the other chairs and table are insignificant so is everything else in life other than the issues being dealt with in the examination. The red colour of the sofa also brings added attention to it and signifies special nature of it, apart from the rest of the furniture.

The identical nature of the examiners shown through the synchronisation of actions and doppelganger dressing is to show their unifying voice of question. Although they may be portrayed as two characters, their purpose is one (to show the actions and life choices of Johnson and the alternatives he could have chosen).
