PPP brain thinking stuff in a train like fashion

Saki story- image of the lost soul- about ademon and bird- demon is a grotesque- theatre of the grotesque- bird= fear for some- Alfred Hitchcock- another short story- the whole idea of short story- going back to statue and bird-unlikely friendships- death- capture and howjit kills relationships- whjen we lose some one we hold dear we mostly lose connection to them- is the loss of connection to another synonymous to death- birds are free statues are frozen- personification of objects- idea of cold represented in eing frozen as a statue

Pitches, Please

Directors justin sabrina
international message, talk about the global issues and themes open the eyes of the audiences. relationship between china and america- chimerica
media- the play also focuses on the importance of the role of media and how control over it can control many people

concepts

cramp it hide it
"nothing is true everything is permitted" hide in plain sight
red?-love passion maybe communism too
american idiot
papaer under the audience
trap the audience
mood- daunting, obscurity
bright light of america
realistic costumes
realistic sounds
older demographic- by theme and some "comments"

set- reca
motivation of play- china relationship
motivation of set- visual and theatre mix, immerse audience, engineering practice
in yo foice, suspend belief, i dont actually like that personally
china is so close to us
TOK
"which tv is turned on"- more than one tv
noise of set changes
refusal of acknowledging its there- is also true for the tianmen square debarcle

standard office and police station
brick floor
lights change scenes

lighting austin
change from brechtian to what?
china-red, merica- blue- but what themes do apply to the countries
red- oppression, claustrophobic
blue- tranquil,
get high, intensity of lighting
varying levels of blue and red
maybe videos to give context to scenes

media

i just had an idea what if you had a video of a tank approaching the audience and then the tankman stopping it-if scrim used
