Lesson: Monday 12th November 2012
The
mirror
The idea of having mirrors was a joint agreement with the crew for “Set”. We thought that a mirror was a key element in our performance as it was a pathway for the connection with Celestine, and thus it ought to be present at all times. Further more, it is placed around the stage strategically to incommode the audience, by “forcing” them to look at their reflections and those of others of fear throughout the performance. Also, they would see the reflection of the performers themselves, as the show is staged having the actors act inbetween the audience members and thus, the multiple mirrors will make their numbers appear larger and hence more threatening and manipulative. The mirrors are also used to proliferate the masks used in performance, and further magnify the idea of perfection coming closer.
Having a little mirror on the Prophets desk would expose his reference to the path at all times, which could also have been used by the Prophet to warn the members of Celestine always watching them and their actions.

The Distances were calculated to measure 6 meters from each other, so that they would be dispersed evenly on stage. The little mirror remains on the desk- to symbolize the Prophets close connection with Celestine + an obsession with the perfection of oneself. |
The lamp:
The lamp is a symbol of brightness and the allegory of hope. Apart from it being used as a source of light for the scene of Lloyd and Natalia’s private meeting, it is also used to express the idea of the source of illumination always being present.
