A
SPECTACULAR NIGHTTIME THEATER EVENT THAT INCLUDES THE AUDIENCE WITHIN
THE PLAYING AREA
On
opposite corners of a public square, two elevated houses are connected
by postal routes, telephone lines and public transportation. From
his watchtower chair Doctor Clapper directs the action, stretching
and retracting the playing space and guiding the spectator's eye,
as the lives of the characters unfold above, around and in the audience.
The action is visible from within the crowd as the characters perform
on raised platforms or stilts. Set pieces roll in and out, transforming
the playing area into a 360-degree arena. The audience is active,
moving and participating in the energy of the show.
