This piece of theatre is not a direct story, it tells many stories. We are not playing named characters and we have no personality specifics. We portray emotion, mood and dynamics. The ones we have witnessed in the images and questioned. We hope to convey an understanding of shared feelings that we believe these images display.
In order for this piece to work, there needs to be something that combines it all together, something that connects the whole performance so that the audience has a story to follow. We have created all these small sections of the performance but what is the through line? We came across these images of an elderly couple that took a photo outside of their home each year. It is these images that are inspiring a story.
We are using the two people to develop two characters, a relationship and a story that will hopefully take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster, whilst also gluing together all the other images we have used.
