Space, Time, Symbols and Metaphors

Space and Time of our Piece

We have consciously tried to engage with the stage as much as possible. We used almost every part of the stage:

• Downstage prompt side: Train scene

• Center stage: Psychiatrist scene

• Downstage prompt, off prompt: Pulse Club scene

• Downstage off prompt: Sophie and Lola's hymns hands

• Upstage and downstage: Chair duets

• Upstage off prompt: Psychiatrist scene.

• full length of the stage: Cityscape, end of the chair duet, assembly line scenes

Our scene can reiterate a lot of times. For example, the pinup models from the 19th century, the experimentation on gay people int he psychiatrist scene seem a bit archaic. However, the train scene and the scene and the toy scene seem relatively modern.

Symbols

• Girls wear pink and boys wear blue: costumes

• Barbies are for girls

• Superheroes are for boys

• Tash represented the society in gnereal in the assembly line scene

• The Pulse club scene was actually a real conversation between a mum and her son during the gay bar shooting at Orlando.
