With
seven "Charlotte Corday's", five "Simonne's"
and projected video sequences this was to be anything but a standard
interpretation of the text.
When the directors expressed their desire to stage the play as a
promenade performance, I suggested that the audience could be shepherded
into an enclosed space with the inmates of the asylum. From this
starting point I devised a stark white box in which audience and
inmates intermingled and on occasion drawn into the action. There
was nowhere to hide! |
